Florist News

Hi to everyone,
New to the site my wife is the florist she managed a very busy flower shop for ten years. We are both in our forties I am in full time employment been there 30 years. My wife then decided that it was time to open our own, so six months ago we went for it. Mothers day nearly killed me just did not know what to expect. We have grown steadily over the past six months maybe after Christmas looking to employ a full time florist we already have part time staff. I have become addicted to the florist buiseness so much so I want to leave my job after all these years and get involed in the shop full time.

Please could any florist out there give advice on the best van to purchase for the florist trade ie. delivery buying sundries ect. I have so many questions but do not want to become a pain so I will wait for now.
Thanks for any advice on the above in advance.
Steve.

hiya, I have a voltswagon caddy,[can't spell it but drive it well]and my husband drives a tdi, i think, it's bigger,handy for market. Whatever you choose, make sure you get it sign written, it is definately the best and cheapest form of advertising

hi there thanks for your reply I was wondering if any one ever answered on this site.

You should take a trip to Holland and visit the sundries places here, in aalsmeer there are afew as big as supermarkets selling everything.

But for the size of van you need or make, I have no idea
