If you’ve ever dreamed of turning your love of flowers into a fulfilling career, this is your moment.
The British Florist Association is proud to be hosting a Floristry Career Showcase this October in partnership with Next Step Ahead as part of their Horticulture Career Showcases – The City Sessions. And, it’s FREE to our Student Members!
Whether you’re just starting out, thinking of a career change, or exploring your options after education, this is the perfect opportunity to learn more about the world of floristry – from the people who live and breathe it every day.
What to Expect
On Wednesday 22nd October 2025, join your panel of speakers – John Davidson, Angela Oliver, Jo Biddle, Morgan-Douglas Nuth, Richard Eagleton and Laura Black – at O’Neill’s on Euston Road (right opposite King’s Cross and St Pancras stations) for a relaxed, inspiring evening dedicated to careers in the floristry industry.
The event kicks off at 6pm and we’ll be sharing our real-world experiences to give you a well-rounded view on the industry and the opportunities it presents – from running successful floristry shops to busy wholesale suppliers and growers as well as training and education opportunities. You’ll hear first-hand how a passion for flowers became a professional career across the breadth of the floral industry.
Then it’s over to you: ask questions, get advice, and meet the panel during an informal networking session that runs until 9pm.
