Hello

We are a florists in the Isle of Man, an island in the Irish sea between Ireland and England. The home of the famous TT races.

The Isle of Man is an independant jurisdiction with low crime rate and beautiful countryside.

Our main business activity is providing high quality and unusual floral gifts and displays, both to the domectis and corporate market. Because we are on an island we are always looking for new ideas and sundries to enhance our work. Also, because of the relatively low population and hence limited skilled work pool, we are also always looking for trained florists to assist us. So, if you ever fancy a change, please get in touch!

Welcome to Flowerchat. It is a delight to have more UK people on board and especailly one from IOM given your unique situation regarding both customer base, staffing issues and location.

This site is HUGE but abosolutely stuffed to the gunnels with information so enjoy your time here.

Kind regards,

Hello Caroline. You may remember me, we spoke on the phone when Flowers Direct took over Flowergram. Nice to hear from you. Kind regards, Colin
 
Hi Colin... welcome to this great community. As Caroline said the site is large, but full of information, fun and frivolity and the odd debate or several.

Chime in for Flowerchat is only as good as it's participants.

Welcome and contribute often!
 
Welcome Colin! Glad you could join us.

Isle of Man sounds lovely. Does your shop sell fresh flowers?
 
Welcome Colin and glad to have ya aboard.

Hmmm, Relocation,,,,to a beautiful island ! Now that's the best thought I've had all day.
 
Welcome to the board!

You'll find a wealth of information here, but here are a couple get aquainted tips.

There is also a helpful Search link at the top of every page
Search Query section
Search for Key Words;__________________________
You can us operators here such as and or +, or you can enclose the phrase in double quotations marks "search terms" to find the entire phrase.
Below that is the Advanced Search Section

Search Options section - advanced search
Select which "Forum" to search in at a time, or at all.

For example, "wire service" I would only search in the "Wire Service" section.
Many people that are new here seem to have a common theme, frustration with the wire services. Believe me, this has been discussed hundreds of times, and it's doubtful that anything new will come from further discussion of the exact same topics that has't been already beat to death, repeatedly.

That's the basic way, you can limit further by using some of the other "Drop-Down" menu's like if you know the thread you are looking for is only a week or so old, etc....

Now that you have a list of threads you've searched for, do not just click on the thread you want to read. Instead RIGHT click on the thread and select "Open in New Window" This will pop up a new window with that thread in it, leaving your searched list intact for you to go back to.

The purpose of the "Search" is to offer a member the opportunity to research his/her question better. There is so much information from past threads that you may never see because that member is no longer here, or doesn't see your new post, or just won't respond to the same question. So use it to your advantage and enjoy the board! View this funny and informative film about posting and searching?BR>http://uploads.ungrounded.net/188000/188612_Posting.swf

Take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the forum. At the top of every board there are threads that are tagged as "Sticky" These threads are "Sticky" because they contain very important/valuable information about the forum and everyone should read them.

Following these simple tips will help keep the board pertinent, and eliminate the large numbers of S-O-S posts that we get here on a daily basis, thereby making this board the valuable useful tool it can be.

But we don't want the valuable, golden money making info threads to be lost in the sea of chaff.....

and please don't just be a lurker but an active contributor!

Hello Lisa

Thanks for the welcome.

Yes, our main trade is fresh flowers but mostly as finished gifts, e.g. hand tied bouquets etc. We don't sell many cut shop wrap flowers but this is mostly due to our location. It seems that when people wanty just a few flowers for the house they go to the supermarket, but when they want something more special they come to us, which suits us fine.
Kind regrads
Colin
