Florist News

hi Rhosyn

Thanks for offer, do need someone regular through the summer for weddings etc but you are welcome to call in for chat if you would be interested in this (only if that picture is not of you). I dont think a horse would fit in my sooty van)

Lol, no I look more like its other end!!!

me to you would be in good company - no choccie biscuits allowd!!! only on vd or md..

just got you private message - new to forum and not too sure how to use it all yet so bear with me. have you got experience etc and would you be interested in regular work??

Would love reg work but have three young kids so money as a florist wouldn't cover nursery as a' regular' thing. Nearly got my own shop few weeks back but issues with no parking etc scuppered that.
I am working freelance from home at the moment as 'The Occasional Florist' but when I first started I worked for Ian Lloyd in Northwich.

fba mr fantastic

you will be surprised, even when quiet there will always be plenty to do !! use that time to leave full timer in shop and go out to businesses etc and gather new customers and corporates...thats what i did. was on my own for 18 months in shop..... took the plunge and employed a florist !! that was 12 years ago, now have 8 staff ! problem is now 3 are off on maternity leave... bloody nightmare... so only employing GAY MEN from from now on !!! brilliant !!

hey goodie....maybe alextheflorist wants a job...

Wages : negotiable : down to experience/qualifications and area....( we are tight arse bastards down this way, u would be lucky to get above bloody min wage , who the hell invented that anyway)[/quote]

Im sure it was invented by the very same people who where on tops £2.50 an hour,under their own steam they would never have achieved £2.99 an hour,so they some how got the goverment to con us into paying them a sack full more than they where/are worth.

Thanks goodie for that advice, it has made me feel better. I think you are right and i just have to take the plunge. It is only part time and there is definatley something always to do even if cleaning. Really appreciate advice from someone who has been there and done that and still doing it so must be good. good to be able to chat to people in same boat also. I am in my fourth year and am hoping to make some money this year. we do about 60 weddings a year so i should make money to keep someone on. right thats it tomorrow i am putting an add in!!!! Also, someone advised me before that when quiet just put price up slightly so no one notices and that will cover some costs. still open for more advice if anyone has it.

You could consider offering someone a fixed term contract, where you employ them only for a certain period of time (ie the busy months). You must be careful with this though, as you cannot repeatedly employ someone in this manner, or from an HR point of view you should be employing them full time.
