The Profitable Florist 10am-4.30 pm 2nd April 2025
This course has been updated and tweaked to cover the myriad of questions I get asked all the time-mostly-HOW do I deal with (unrealistic) budgets and HOW do I make a profit in my business and (while we are at it) what’s the difference between gross and net profit?!
This is what we will cover whilst drinking coffee and eating cake…
This will be a long day, please bring a packed lunch, notepad and lots of water! You can pay the fee in instalments if that’s easier-just message me.

Sometimes florists choose to do this course 1-1 as this allows us to really look deep into your personal set up- where it is good and where it could be improved. Together we would create a plan of action for you to implement over the coming few months. Price for this course 1-1 is £300.
