Part time - Permanent - Market Weighton

Who we are?
A great opportunity has risen to join a unique Florist!
Flower Merchant is a modern florist which incorporates a Gin Emporium. The store specialises in luxury bouquets, gifts and small batch spirits. The business has been privately owned for the last 13 years and is proud to have launched its own spirits - needless to say we are ecstatic about our new venture and as such our business has to be restructured.
We are looking for a friendly, experienced Florist to support us in our Market Weighton store. This role will involve working closely with the management to develop weddings and to maintain customer relationships.
Professionalism and politeness are the core principles of our business, it is vital all our customers enjoy the same experience, whether they shop on line or direct in the store.
What are we looking for?
We are looking for an approachable, friendly and experienced florist who is capable and comfortable at engaging with clients on a professional level and have the ability to create artful, beautiful florals. Along with floristry we stock an impressive collection of small batch spirts and wines which are produced in Yorkshire, we therefore would prefer our florists to have an interest and knowledge in this industry - we understand our requirements are unique and therefore training will be provided where necessary.
