Behind The Scenes

Flowers By Suzanne

On the 22nd May our members attended an exciting evening at Flowers By Suzanne.

Business Women's Link members enjoyed a fun evening of networking at Lincoln's award-winning florist Flowers By Suzanne in North Hykeham.  Members and their guests gathered for coffee and cake in the garden and Tea Rooms at the North Hykeham shop and had an opportunity for networking before the programme began.

 Groups then moved around and listened to 3 presentations. Mark Hollingworth, Business Manager of Flowers By Suzanne talked about his career change from Army Officer to joining the family business and also explained how winning Lincolnshire Business Person of the Year in 2007 had helped the business. 

Robert Stubbs, Designer Florist at Flowers By Suzanne showed BWL members how to make a wrist corsage and they even had a chance to experiment - the general feeling was that no one realised how tricky it was to produce such beautiful creations! 

Last, but by no means least, Focus Group member Hazel Taylor gave a short presentation about her visit to Bangladesh to meet a child she had sponsored through the charity World Vision.

All in all, it was an interesting and enjoyable evening and a chance for BWL members to learn some new skills, think about some business issues which may affect them and to meet other women in business.

Our thanks go to Suzanne and Mark for making us so welcome.
