Throughout the year various fund raising events have been held....

More than 30 florists attended business workshops sponsored by Redbridge at Wolverhampton and Gateshead, held in conjunction with the Flower Council of Holland.

The workshops presented a morning of excellent business advice on how to gain more corporate and contract accounts, and the best ways to present and promote your business; followed by an afternoon of amazing designs and insider tips from leading Irish designer Richard Haslam.

If previous workshops are any guide, the florists who attended should recoup the costs of their tickets very soon in increased business.

Thank you to the generous florists who bought raffle tickets for the designs at the end of the workshop, raising £80 for breast cancer research.
