We also met with Detail Flowers who have a fabulous software system which is a must for any busy wedding florist, making proposals and quotations so much easier and also making ordering a lot more simplified.

Caroline and Michael were playing a blinder at their Floral Box stand that we could hardly get a look in, huge interest from all the UK florists for their eco friendly boxes and packaging.  We have used Michaels Floral Boxes for many many years and highly recommend them as an alternative to plastic wrapping. See a short video here of their products

As we came to the end of Day 1, we had sit down story time with the lovely Cara from Florist Pro, another great website platform that is designed for florists for selling retail.  Cara gave us a list of the benefits of using their system and how economical it works out for Florists and floral designers.

This is only a taster of the amazing people we met at Fleurex in Bermingham, I will do another blog about the growers we chatted to and learned so much from.

Our visit to Fleurex in Bermingham really was a breath of fresh air, having been out of touch with so many of our industry specialists for such a long time due to Covid, thank you to The British Florist Association for putting on such an amazing event for our Industry.
