Corporate and business customers
Christmas traditionally sees companies and businesses thanking clients and suppliers with a small gift. Floral arrangements feel more personal and show the extra care you have taken. All include a card with message so if you are tasked with the job of sorting staff or client gifts then we are here to help you.
Depending on your budget and type of business, how about a regular delivery each month to those special clients that you work with to help reinforce an excellent client relationship. This is a great option if you previously met and socialised with clients but due to Covid feel this does not work so well at the present time.
Floral Subscription Service
The perfect birthday, or thinking of you, gift idea for anyone throughout the year, our floral subscription service offers the opportunity to regularly send a more personal choice of flowers. Once set up your client, or family member, will receive either a monthly or bi- weekly delivery from you.
Staff presents
If you want to show your staff or team members how much you appreciate them then say it with fresh flowers, or chocolate, or wine or all three!
Business venue decoration and supply
It is good practice to welcome visitors to your premises with a vase or display of fresh flowers. Whether for reception, board room or more general office areas, you can create a positive and welcoming ambience even choosing flowers in your company brand colours.
Widely recognised for supplying long lasting high-quality flowers, we would love to look after the floral requirements of your business throughout the year. Please get in touch for a chat and we will answer any questions you may have.
