Top 5 I actually began working in the events industry for a prestigious catering company in London. A role found by a friend of a friend, I really had no idea what I was signing up for but being young and impressionable, it sounded fun so I thought I would give it a go! During this time, I became infatuated by the way that great floristry and design could utterly transform spaces into unique and memorable environments. I also became increasingly frustrated with the service level and excellence for design that was being offered in the marketplace by other vendors and thought that if I felt I could do it better, I should go and put my money where my mount was! Not one to be backwards in coming forwards, I signed up for a two week long floristry course and upon completion, handed my notice in and found myself sitting at my dining table saying, “so…this is what I do now!”. I felt that in that moment, the design service being extended in the industry was lacking behind what one would expect fr om a similar investment into interior design for example, wh ere you receive drawings, renderings, plans, sketches, samples, swatches etc. Given we are talking about investing the same sums, I couldn’t understand why we were asking clients to part with their money without showing them exactly what they would be getting for it. To this day, our team work tirelessly to create an industry leading guest experience that guides each of our clients through the design process in the most enjoyable and transparent way possible. I’m not sure if taking such a bold decision to transform my life is something that I would be brave enough to make again however, a decade later, I am beyond thrilled that I took the leap as the opportunities, experiences and creative satisfaction I have achieved since really have been utterly life changing.
