Forest Garden Receives King’s Award for Enterprise!
Established in 1965, The King’s (formerly Queen’s) Award for Enterprise is the highest award possible for UK businesses. It celebrates the success of exciting and innovative companies, which are leading the way with pioneering products or services, delivering impressive social mobility programmes, or showing their commitment to excellent sustainable development practices.
Forest has received this prestigious award for its innovation of a fully-automatic, high-speed fence panel manufacturing process, which has enabled them to reduce fence panel production time by almost 70%, improve production margins, and allowed their UK-sourced and manufactured products to successfully compete with the leading overseas competition.
This ground-breaking manufacturing process has also delivered even more consistently high-quality fencing, equipping Forest to respond to surges in demand after storms and other extreme events.
A Word from Forest’s CEO
Forest Garden CEO, Guy Grainger, said: ‘Whilst innovating the manufacture of fence panels may not seem particularly exciting, in our sector it has been nothing short of revolutionary.
‘To have successfully introduced a new panel suitable for automation into our market, alongside replacing a traditional manufacturing process with ground-breaking high-speed automation, are achievements of which we are particularly proud.’

Forest’s Award-Winning Fence Panels
To see how you can benefit from Forest’s award-winning innovation, let’s take a look at some of their market-leading fence panels right now…
Forest 6 x 6 Lap Fence Panel (1.83m x 1.83m)
Available in 4 different heights and supplied with a 10-year anti-rot guarantee, this new-look lap fencing is designed with straight timber boards for a more contemporary style than traditional overlap panels.
Thanks to the use of extra wooden boards, there is a shorter distance between the overlaps. Combine this with the 44mm frame and 4 vertical battens, and you've got an unbeatably robust fence panel, certain to stand the test of time.
Forest 6 x 6 Paloma Decorative Fence Panel (Europa Prague) - 1.8m x 1.8m
This decorative fencing offers you the best of both worlds, featuring both a robust structure and a jaw-dropping design to make your garden the envy of your neighbours.
The 45 x 40mm mortise-and-tenon-jointed, rebated frame and galvanised, water-resistant screws provide strength and stability, while the trellis top section is ideal for training climbing plants.
Pressure treated and backed by a 15-year anti-rot guarantee, this decorative fencing requires no further treatment, saving you money and leaving you more time to relax in your garden.
Forest 6 x 6 Pressure Treated Contemporary Double Slatted Fence Panel (1.8m x 1.8m)
Slatted fence panels are amongst the most fashionable types of fencing, and these double-slatted panels are one of our favourites.
While this double-slatted fencing still allows more natural light to filter into your garden than traditional fencing, it provides greater privacy than standard slatted panels.
FSC® certified, pressure treated and rounded off with a sumptuous smooth-planed finish, this slatted fencing boasts beauty, brawn and a superb 15-year guarantee!
