Florist

Florists specialise in the design and arrangement of flowers for a range of occasions, such as weddings, funerals, corporate events, and everyday gifts. The role involves selecting and preparing flowers, creating bouquets and displays, advising customers, and sometimes managing orders and deliveries. Florists often work in shops, garden centres, or may be self-employed. The job requires creativity, an eye for colour and design, good customer service skills, and the ability to work to deadlines, particularly during busy periods like Valentine's Day or Mother's Day. Many florists also need business management skills if they run their own shops.
