We have many customers, large and small, new and old, in the UK and European wholesale, floristry markets, bouquet re-packers for supermarkets and internet postal gift companies.
We are located a few minutes from Heathrow airport in London. Our offices are based within our distribution company Cargofloras’ complex and situated right above the coldstore and warehouse facilities enabling us to check all our imports as soon as they are delivered from the airport and allowing us to know our exact stock position at all times ready for next day distribution.
Colombia is our main country of supply for flowers, herbs, salads, fruits and exotics. Already the second largest fresh flower exporting country in the world Colombia is also now a large exporter of fresh herbs and salads. The growing area is located on the Sabana de Bogotá. Situated 2600 meters above sea level and with its close proximity to the equator, its steady annual temperature and solar light means that we can offer the same consistently good quality product the whole year round (for All Seasons!). We also import flowers, foliage and other fresh produce from other parts of the world when in season such as Ecuador, Israel, Turkey, Thailand, Italy and Kenya.
We have an established procurement office in Colombia’s capital city Bogotá with full time personnel designated to regular visits to all our growers, checking freight controls at the airport and strictly controlling quality in all areas of the supply and cool chain. This has proved to be very effective in bringing our growers much closer to our customers business needs. We have constant communication via a linked computer network between our offices and are therefore able to react very quickly to short notice requests and market changes. Having our own personnel on the ground at source ensures that we have daily personal contact with our suppliers and freight forwarders.
