Abi Evans

Abi joined KLG in 1999 to support her husband, Steve, in transforming his small garden services business into what it is today. Initially responsible for Sales and Marketing of KLG, Abi began overseeing The Otter Nursery after its acquisition by her and Steve in 2009. Actively involved in daily operations, her role as Director can vary, but she still finds joy in selecting all the plants for our projects. She collaborates closely with Zak, our Plant Buyer, the Contracts Managers, and maintains the valuable relationships she has developed with our suppliers over the years.

When reflecting on a standout highlight from her time at Kingston, Abi shares, “Witnessing individuals I interviewed over 20 years ago as trainee gardeners rise to Senior roles within the company has been incredibly rewarding. Additionally, the increase in female representation is significant—when I started, there was only one other woman, and now over 20% of our team are women!”
