Euphoric
My name is Simon, I'm 42 and I've been a florist for 17 years. On my first day at college in Plymouth 1990 I was the only person who couldn't make a bow from strip ribbon, almost burst into tears and thought my career in floristry was doomed!!! I moved to london in 1994 and spent 11 years working for other people including Jane Packer.
Two years ago, not wanting to wake up one day and thinking "I'm 50 and I haven't done anything for myself "; I started my own business, Euphoric Flowers and it is without doubt the scariest and best thing I've ever done. I'm in partnership with my best friend Victoria and I think I've got the best job in the world. We were recently selected as one of the 5 finalists at the Wrapit Wedding Industry Awards and although we didn't win, to be recognised by our peers was wonderful....the press coverage wasn't bad either!!! |
