Business blooms for UK flower trade

A new event for the flower trade has been launched. FLOWERS 04 has been specifically designed to cater for the growing UK market for cut flowers and indoor plants and will take place on June 20 ñ 21 at the Business Design Centre in London.

FLOWERS 04 hopes to attract suppliers and florists with a range of demonstrations. The Hot Designer Theatre will feature leading international and UK designers in action and the Flower Power Talks will give out business advice. Talking Trends promises to bring fashion and flowers with a look towards trends for the coming year.

Tim Etchells, managing director of the organisers, Single Market Events said: “We've done a great deal of research into the UK flower market and with the number of new suppliers and professional florists entering the market recently, there is a very clear opportunity for a business event to being them all together. It's a very exciting time.”
