Outdoor furniture supplier to close UK operations

ScanCom International, a leading global manufacturer and supplier of outdoor furniture, has announced plans to close its LifestyleGarden distribution centre and showroom in the UK.

The closure, which will take effect on 31 August 2025, will impact several dedicated team members, some of whom have been with ScanCom UK Ltd and the LifestyleGarden UK team for over two decades.

A statement said: “Firstly, we would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support and confidence in the LifestyleGarden® brand. In recent years, it’s fair to say that the Outdoor Living market, like many other industries, has faced numerous challenges due to the state of the economy. We hope that we have alleviated some of these pressures by offering local support, smaller quantity distribution, and a flexible, varied range.

“As we all know, running a business—especially one that ships and stores goods—presents challenges. We at ScanCom are no different, and as a result, we’ve been in consultation over recent months, analysing our business model and performance. After much careful consideration, ScanCom has made the very difficult decision to close the LifestyleGarden® distribution centre in the United Kingdom to ensure the long-term success of the broader ScanCom operations. Additionally, we will be closing the LifestyleGarden® UK showroom.

“Of course, these closures will impact our dedicated team members, some of whom have been with ScanCom UK Ltd and the LifestyleGarden® UK team for over 20 years. We’d like to take this opportunity to extend our heartfelt thanks to every one of them for their years of service and unwavering commitment to ScanCom and to you, our valued customer.

“As of 31st August 2025, ScanCom UK Ltd and LifestyleGarden® UK will cease trading and close.

“Please rest assured that all committed orders will be fulfilled as planned. ScanCom International will continue focusing on mixed container orders shipped directly from Vietnam to customers in the United Kingdom.”
