Ever wondered what it’s like to own a small business where by you have a government whom will do anything to knock you down and make it impossible to trade along with ever increasing costs, also bare in mind flower handling needs to kept to a minimum when having no water source😢bet supermarkets don’t have any of this happening to them
UPDATE - Our flowers have arrived and our vans have left the site. Thank you for your patience this morning 🌸
***** Warning check with us before collecting a order today **********
Some / all Deliveries will be delayed today
Good morning
At 4.50pm yesterday we received a email to inform us that three of our eight trucks arriving in the Uk 🇬🇧 around 10 -11pm need to go to Ashford for Defra inspection.

When our drivers arrive ten other Flower & plant trucks are waiting to be checked , the checks mean l the truck is unloaded and Defra check the load , the issue being only five staff are in Ashord to do this .
Whilst the driver waits and waits he gets no information how long this will take , as each week goes by the frequency and time taken gets longer .
We now will hit issues with driving hours & we have no idea how long this will take .
A huge amount of wedding orders our on todays trucks .
This system is really becoming a huge cost & a problem.
For updates please call 07774 802990
