Gavin’s Irish company withers away

The Irish-based garden design firm controlled by celebrity gardener Diarmuid Gavin has withered away while his UK firm continues to blossom.

This is disclosed in new accounts lodged by the best- selling author and television presenter in Ireland and the UK that reveal Mr Gavin’s Irish-based company ceased trading last year.

Accounts filed by Mr Gavin’s Diarmuid Gavin Designs Ireland Ltd confirm that in the year to the end of August 31 last, the firm ceased to trade.
