About Us

Outside the box,
inside your industry.

We exist to deliver exceptional marketing solutions for food & drink brands. Our approach is built on getting behind the counter with you - understanding your business from the inside out to create strategies that build distribution and drive sales.

Our History

The Garden was founded in 1988 by Peter Meadows and Iain Forbes. Starting from a basement office in South West London with just two people, we quickly grew to a team of seven and relocated to central London near Trafalgar Square.

Throughout the 1990s, we established ourselves as a leading food and drink marketing agency, becoming the 4th most specialized agency in our sector in London.

Over three decades, we’ve built lasting partnerships with national and international brands, with our results serving as our strongest recommendation.

Our Values

Challenge & Question

We don't accept the status quo. We push boundaries and ask the difficult questions that lead to breakthrough solutions.

Nurture & Inspire

We invest in relationships with our clients and team, fostering an environment where great ideas flourish.

Trust, Honesty & Integrity

These aren't just words on a page. They're the foundation of every client relationship we build, many of which have grown into genuine partnerships over the years.

"We specialize in retail marketing and food & drink brand development, combining our nearly 40 years of industry expertise with fresh thinking to deliver measurable results for our clients."

- Peter & Iain

We operate as a close-knit group of business associates and industry professionals, with expertise spanning Europe and beyond.


Rather than a fixed in-house team, we work with trusted specialists who know your sector inside out: from retail buying to field marketing, from Germany to North America.

It means that whatever your market, whatever your challenge, we can build the right team around you, quickly and without compromise.

We bring the right people to the right markets, every time.
