Flower Shops Network was founded in 2023 by Steve France, with goal of getting consumers to connect with their local florist.
Steve has previously worked at Arena Flowers, a leading online florist and Florismart, a wholesaler of flowers to florists - and has been active in the industry on a senior level for the last 20 years.
Flower Shops Network has been several years in planning. The first steps were to build a network of 600 florists spread throughout the UK who would participate in the business and create unique bespoke software - www.flowershopsnetwork.co.uk
Consumers can order one of a hundred different style of bouquet, all of which, it's network of florists can make and deliver within a few hours note. Orders are taken up to 2pm for Same Day delivery.
Once an order is placed the system checks the postcode against it's database of florists and the details are transferred instantly to the florist by mail or app, and the florist is notified. Florists make and deliver the flowers, and the system notifies the customer.
Flower Shops Network is one of a handful of companies able to offer this instant floral messaging service, and is going from strength to strength as it connects consumers with real local florists.
