IT'S TIME! Time for the Flower Market Awards 2015! Time to shout about your fab flower business and to sing the praises of your favourite Flower Market wholesaler.
Why enter? Why not?
Awards mean new business according to last year's deserving Flower Market Florist of the Year, Neil Birks of NB Flowers:
"Winning the award has been a really fantastic endorsement of what we do and has definitely, absolutely, 125% helped us win new business. Beyond a shadow of a doubt."
"People who work with us already have said that it reaffirms why they are using us. New clients and brides see the award and it gives them the confidence that these people know what they are doing."
"We use the winner's logo on our website, on social media, as our email sign off. We were thrilled to bits to win and have had lots of positive feedback. I'm just sorry that I shall be a judge instead this year and can't re-apply!"
Florist of the Year 2015
The title of Florist of the Year will be awarded to the successful flower business, which demonstrates both outstanding floristry expertise and commercial acumen.
