What are your company’s strengths? We’re innovative, quick to move with new ideas and designs, we solve growers’ problems with time- and money-solving solutions, we produce high-quality products at low costs, and are quick to design and manufacture. What significant things have you learned so far about the industry? Innovating is the best way to make your way in the industry. Innovating and keeping low overhead, if that’s possible. What makes your employees so awesome? How does the team at Green-Qube bond? We all have the passion and drive to build and develop our products and the company. We work together closely and make sure we communicate and share whatever is going on, however big or small. To develop a brand that has grown so quickly and seen in such high regard within the industry really spurs us on. What’s better than working for a successful and expanding company? And, of course, we love to celebrate that too. Go-karting seems to bring out everyone’s competitive side, and we tend to finish off the day by eating a lot of meat and consuming beer in Cardiff. Socialising and celebrating our successes is definitely vital to keep that team spirit alive. 68 Maximum Yield proud concepts As a UK company, we predominantly sell to the UK as well as all across Europe. We also distribute to more far-flung countries such as Chile. Our big project for 2018 is moving into the US and the Canadian markets. We are excited to be backed by Wales Trade, which is run by the Welsh Government. They believe in us and our products and are going to be helping us establish our brand in the US and supporting the work we do out there. Where do you distribute Green-Qube products? BECOME INDUSTRY After the success of the Green-Qube, the Roof-Qube followed. This was the grow tent that really got us noticed as it was the first grow tent designed specifically for attics. It allowed people, for the first time, to grow in loft spaces. There was a huge need for people to maximise the space to grow and this opened up a whole new level to growers, especially in the UK where houses are limited on space. Our latest addition is the revolutionary Quick-Qube. Again, this a brand new concept to growing indoors, but this time we have learnt from our mistakes and invested in a patent to protect the idea and concept. The Quick-Qube is a completely new and different way to create an easy growing space quickly. Adapted from an industrial gazebo frame, the pop-up framework combines Green-Qube’s class-leading outer shell with a super sturdy yet light- weight aluminium frame. The frame comes as one piece, so it simply pulls out and clicks up so you can put your grow tent up — and down — in minutes. It also means that you won’t lose any poles and it is much easier to store. As it is aluminium, it doesn’t rust or corrode and it is even stronger than steel. It can easily hang more than 100 kilograms off it. We believe in this frame so much we are offering a one-year frame guarantee too.
