Hello,

My name is Jem and I am currently trying to change career from Mental Health Advocacy to Florist. Obviously this is no easy task but I am attending a leisure floristry course at South Thames College and have just completed hand ties and I'm starting on Christmas designs in a couple of weeks. I have some sort of knack for it and learn quickly but would love to get some more experience. A friend of mine has trusted me to do her wedding also which will take place in December. I am looking for trusting florists to let me assist and shadow them at weddings and events or in their shop. I am happy get my hands dirty, I'm very organised and good at making people smile (or so I'm told) so I hope it would be a mutually beneficial experience for us both. I have photos of some of the pieces I have put together for my class and would be happy to send them to you so you can judge for yourself.

I hope to hear from you.

Jem

  Ocado stopped sourcing from Waitrose a few years ago. They now source from M&S and general brands. Waitrose have their own delivery service now. I don't know how well served SE22 is by it. Ocado offers for new customers are, or certainly were, really good, particularly in the run up to Christmas. I think I got 20%/15%/10% up to a maximum of £100 spend off my first three deliveries with no delivery charge or commitment to sign up for further deliveries. There wasn't a time limit, IIRC, so it was a great way of restocking heavy store cupboard basics and stuff for the freezer.

  Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?

  As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed.

  ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango. Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy. So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?
