Monkton Elm’s growth in full bloom after Santander and Elavon provide secure payment solutions
Monkton Elm
Monkton Elm is a family run garden centre based near Taunton selling plants and garden products, alongside home décor and garden furniture. The site also has a pet centre and a farm shop selling local produce, and customers can enjoy dining at The Elm Tree restaurant. Over 40 years the business has evolved into the centre it is today, providing a destination retail and eating experience.
Monkton Elm and Santander have worked together over the last few years and as the business grew, Santander introduced them to Elavon, our payments partner.
We’ve been working with Santander for a number years, our relationship has been growing and is very sustainable. As more clients move away from cash payments, we’ve been able to work with the teams to embed a new payment solution to continue our journey and serve clients with speed and security.
