Hi! Though I'd introduce myself - my name's Gemma. I'm based in East Sussex, I provide wedding flower services across Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire and I'm six months into my new business. I recently made the leap from my full-time PAYE role customer service role into part-time to focus more on the floral design business as the industry has naturally started to pick up again following the latest announcements. Learning about being a sole trader has been a challenge, but things are slowly clicking. Asides from floristry, I have a background in marketing and sales which has helped a lot in building my sales funnel and customer journey.
