Welcome to Tom
Wood's About us page...
Tom Wood is a family run business and has been
trading since 1933. 2008 is our 75th Anniversary. We pride ourselves in the quailty of our flowers.
We buy direct from the flower auctions in Holland to ensure Quality
and longevity.
We are members of Interflora so we can offer
sameday delivery in the UK (if ordered by 12 noon). Also as Interflora
members we can send flowers anywhere in the world. Locally we
deliver to all areas of Doncaster and surrounding villages twice
a day. If you are not sure exactly what is required for the occasion
our expert florists can help with ideas and inspiration, such
as our continental arrangements with their own water supply to stay fresh
longer, ideal for delivery to offices or hospitals.
You can
order your arrangements online using our secure Shop or, if you
wish, by Freephone 0800 0192 491
(if so please mention you visited our web site).
Tom Wood
have been in partnership with Interflora worldwide for many years.
Please find a brief description of Interflora.
The
Roman God Mercury, the Messenger of the Gods - is one of the most
recognised trademarks in the world and a shared symbol of quality
and service. On your travels, you may have noticed that the Interflora
service is known by different trading names: Fleurop in parts
of Europe; FTD in America, Canada and Japan; and Interflora in
the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland and everywhere else! Different
names but all share the same high levels of quality and service.
Over 80
years ago the seeds of Interflora were sown in America, when two florists
agreed to telegraph each other with requests because their flowers could not
survive the four-day train journey needed for delivery. The growth of the
Interflora network began with the use of telegraph to pass requests between
florists.
In the
UK, the idea really took off in 1920, when a florist in Glasgow and a
nurseryman in Essex looking to increase their business applied to join the
American Association as foreign members. By 1923 there were 17 such members in
the United Kingdom, enough to form a British unit. The name was changed in 1953
to Interflora.
With a
fresh and original idea, Interflora and its network has grown into the world's
largest and most popular flower delivery network.
Our
combination of creativity, experience and guaranteed quality sets us apart from
the competition, defining our position as The Flower Experts. The Interflora UK head
office, Interflora House is based in rural Sleaford, Lincolnshire, continuously
and actively assisting and developing our Membership with the latest technology
and marketing support. |
