Dynamic and innovative – bringing new, sustainable ideas to gifting in the UK and Europe.
Owned by growers and together we are trusted by major retailers to breed, grow, import, pack and deliver the flowers and gifts that make life’s meaningful moments a little more memorable.
Passionate about providing meaningful careers and a good neighbour in the communities in which we operate.
Our core values guide how we work and conduct ourselves and form the cornerstones of our culture.
We are honest, we do what we say we’re going to do, and we trust each other. We’re also trusted for our knowledge and expertise.
We flex with the peaks of our work and are quick to try out new ideas in our desire to get better and better at what we do.
We love what we do, and we love being part of life’s meaningful moments.
We know we can’t do this alone, so we support, motivate and challenge each other to work effectively together
