Fleurtations sees business blossoming
Plantscaping business Fleurtations has seen enquiries blooming from the hospitality industry and recovery in the events sector as it prepares to celebrate its 30th anniversary.
The East Lothian-based firm – which counts the Balmoral Hotel, JP Morgan and The Royal Yacht Britannia amongst its customers – is run by David Chalmers and Belinda Jarron, who have just celebrated their silver wedding anniversary.
They began Fleurtations in 1991, and it creates, installs
and maintains high-end interior and exterior plant displays, window boxes and hanging baskets.
It now has more than 1,000 clients, including the likes of the Scottish Parliament, Lloyds Banking Group and Deloitte as well as golfing event The Open Championship.
The business has grown from turning over £22,000 with a single employee in its first year to employing a staff of 20 and sales of more than £1 million.
