About Us
My name is Robert Horsfield and together with my family we run Save the Birds and Save the Plants from our home in Milton Keynes. We are a small business and our aim is to provide a quality service at the lowest cost to our customers. We develop and maintain this website ourselves and we use local services wherever possible.
We can offer you a simple, clear and extremely competitive price on all of our products.
We don't produce a printed catalogue or send out junk mail.
What happened to Save the Birds and Save the Plants?
Until recently Save The Birds and Save the Plants were run as two separate websites (it's always been one business). However, we received so many requests from our 'Plants' customers for 'Birds' products and vice versa that the only sensible thing to do was to merge the websites. For the lack of a better name, www.SaveThe.co.uk was created!
Eco-thoughts..
We are always thinking how to run the business with as little environmental impact as possible. We use Royal Mail as much as we can, because the chances are they were coming to your door anyway. We reuse nearly all the packing material that we receive our stock in. Boxes are reused or cut up and composted. Plastics are used as void-fill where it doesn't add too much weight and pallets are recycled rather than burnt or thrown away. Believe it or not we walk or cycle to the post office most days to dispatch smaller orders.
Who is this We?
Ok, so WE, is really ME, Robert Horsfield, Rob. I'm a sole trader - that means I take sole responsibility for this business, if something goes wrong, doesn't work or is not to your total satisfaction its me you will talk to. I pack nearly all orders, although certain lines are out-sourced.
I established the business in August 2007.
