With one of our Taunton team members taking part in the Müller British Athletics Championships we were keen to find out the results! The Championships took place on Friday 4th and Saturday 5th September at the Manchester Regional Arena. The event was held behind closed doors.

With para-only events being staged at these championships for the first time, we were so thrilled to see Otter Garden Centre team member, Hannah Taunton, do so well. Hannah broke the women’s T20 5000m world record in a time of 17 minutes, 17 seconds (17:17.30)!

Hannah has worked in Otter Taunton Garden Centre for many years and is a vital part of our plants team. Colleagues describe Hannah as some who always has a lovely smile on her face and enjoys caring for the plants at the garden centre.

From everyone at Otter Garden Centres, and especially Rob and all the team in Taunton who work with Hannah, we would like to say a huge congratulations for breaking a world record, this is a massive achievement and we are all very proud of you!
