After gaining a Level 2 & 3 NVQ in Floristry I cut my teeth in the industry by working at various retail florists. All the while I had it in the back of my mind that I wanted to start my own business, where I could use my own style and creativity. I took the plunge in 2007 and started taking and filling orders from home. Things went well, but there was still something missing! I realised I craved that daily contact with customers and colleagues, and the buzz of a busy shop. The logical next step was to find premises, which I did, opening in Frome, Somerset in March 2008 and then branching out — literally — to a second floristry shop in Warminster, Wiltshire in 2010. I have now reached the stage where I can offer the convenience of ordering and paying for flower bouquets on The Little Flower Company website, for same day delivery (if you order before 3pm) to anywhere in and around Frome, Warminster and Westbury (including the local villages). We are also part of the international Interflora flower delivery network.
I’ve always loved flowers, so it seemed natural to go into floristry, particularly since I enjoy people too. Preparing arrangements and bouquets for all the special occasions in people’s lives — from birth through to eternal rest — is not only an artistic challenge, but also immensely rewarding, special and satisfying.
