THE POUNDBURY FLORIST IS THE UK FLOWER SHOP OF THE YEAR 2011!

Thank you to the folks at Covent Garden Market, Florist and Wholesale Buyer, and Re:Fresh who have awarded us with this fantastic accolade!!

The Re:fresh Awards, the equivalent of the Oscars for the fresh produce and cut flower industry, are run annually by the Fresh Produce Consortium (FPC), the UK's trade association for the fresh produce and cut flower industry, and the leading trade magazine, The Fresh Produce Journal. The Re:fresh Retail Florist of the Year award is sponsored by FPC member New Covent Garden Market and is open to all independent flower and plant retailers in the UK.

"The standard of entries was extremely high. We are delighted to recognise The Poundbury Florist's achievements at Retail Florist of the Year," commented Nigel Jenney, Chief Executive of the Fresh Produce Consortium. "The Poundbury Florist’s imaginative new developments have helped it succeed, despite tough economic times."

"The Poundbury Florist has developed a highly usable website which gives customers the tools to create their own bespoke gift design. The business' rapidly developing wedding service is driving growth and a close-knit team of staff is on hand to ensure that the business continues to flourish."

We had a fantastic night at the awards in London on Thursday and have a beautiful trophy to show for it. More information on the award that we have won can be seen at:
