At The Cambridge Flower School we have first hand experience of changing career. It is armed with this knowledge of what is required to build a successful floristry business (including all the important elements such as insurance, setting up a website and making the all important profit) that we ensure that you leave the course armed with all the information you require to build your own business and a career in floristry.
