After almost 20 years of Fox Flowers we have decided to close the retail arm of our business on November 4th . We are immensely grateful for the loyalty and support you have shown us on this incredible journey. While we will no longer have a physical retail store we want to reassure you this is not the end for Fox flowers; instead it’s a new beginning . Moving forward we will concentrate on our real specialties - weddings , events and corporate work . But that’s not all , we are thrilled to unveil our long anticipated classes and workshops set to commence in 2024 .
Coming to this decision has not been easy and it comes with a mix of emotions.
I have, from as far back as I can remember, always been a ‘shop girl ‘. My childhood was spent playing shop, and at the age 15 I started my first job behind a counter.
I loved the hustle and bustle, chatting to customers and never looked back.
It was a dream come true in February 2004 to open my own business, Fox Flowers. I loved everything, from sweeping outside my door in the morning to pulling the shutter down at the end of a busy day.
Helping people on each of their special occasions - both happy and sad, has been nothing but an honour. Most of all, I loved meeting all of you, our customers, many of which I am so grateful to now call friends 💗
The team we have built, and still work with after all this time, are like an extension of our family . Alice (18 years) , Iluta (17 years) , Inara (15 years) and Clare (12 years) along with so many others (especially Jill Wild, my brother Brian & my darling Dad )have been there throughout our journey, helping us build a very successful business that I have loved like a child.
For all of these reasons, and many more, it has been a very difficult decision to come to, closing this successful arm of our business. However as life evolves and priorities change I know that this choice is the best one for me and my family right now.
So, while I’m sad to not be a ‘ shop girl’ anymore, and I will miss it hugely, I am so excited for the future of Fox Flowers and hope you stay with us for this new and exciting chapter 🌸
All my love & gratitude,
Sharon xx
