Mark wins New Product Award at Glee Garden Trade Show in Birmingham

Local businessman and Milford on Sea resident, Mark Nineham for the first time, attended Glee, a trade gardening exhibition, in Birmingham from the 16th to the 18th September 2024. To his delight, two of his products gained recognition in the Glee New Product Awards at the show.

The first was the Siroflex Home and Garden Kit, the second the 'Eco-flow' Water Saving Tap Adaptor. 

Both products were shortlisted for a category award and Mark had to face, and present the product benefits to, the judges in a 2 minute Dragons Den style presentation. He then had to take any questions they had.

The outcome was that Mark was delighted to discover later in the day that their Siroflex Home and Garden Kit had won its category.

The judges were impressed with the 'Eco-flow' Water Saving Tap Adaptor, not just for its environmental benefits, but also that you could use the adaptor to connect your outside garden hose, even if you didn't have an outside tap. The kit also includes a soft aerated sprayer for washing down pets. The versatility of the product, and the water saving aspect, were commended highly.

Mark commented: “This is our first time exhibiting at Glee. We've bought the products from all over from Italy and we're just over the moon that one of products won. We were advised to enter the awards, and we have come out winners!”

The products originate from Italy, and Siroflex are also a family business. They were founded in 1963 and invented the first plastic hose connector.

Mark provides the products on his website and through Amazon. 

He is also looking for Agents to take the range to as many garden centres as possible. If you are interested, please contact Mark.

Bespoke Cupcakes from Bonnie at Nauti Treats

Milford on Sea is blessed with talented cake makers, and now we would like to introduce you to another one, Bonnie of Nauti Treats.

Bonnie moved to Milford on Sea with her family just over three years ago, and prior to this had a career in brand strategy with BBC Worldwide and Macmillan Cancer Support in London.

Having a long-time passion for baking and a young daughter, it felt like the natural next step for Bonnie to start her own cake making business, and this is how Nauti Treats was born.

Bonnie specialises in custom cupcake orders, from Winnie the Pooh-themed christening cakes to gluten-free and dairy-free dark chocolate birthday cakes. Each cupcake is crafted not only to suit dietary needs but to enhance the celebration, adding a personal touch that elevates the entire experience. 

Whether catering for large parties or intimate gatherings, she takes pride in helping her clients create the special moments they’re after. She has even recreated wedding cupcakes for a special vow renewal. 

Nauti Treats have a 5-star hygiene rating, and Bonnie is also able to accommodate various allergens, ensuring that everyone can enjoy a Nauti Treat without worry.

Bonnie's experience with allergen-friendly baking began at home, as her daughter couldn't have dairy until she was two, and her mother-in-law follows a gluten-free diet. Baking with allergens in mind has since become second nature.


Bonnie would love to discuss any ideas you may have and create something special for you or a loved one.

If you'd like to order a box of cakes, or ask any questions, feel free to reach out to Bonnie at nautitreatslymington@gmail.com 

You can also see more examples of cakes on Instagram @nauti_treats.  

Local delivery is also available.
