Florists

The BFA is the only trade association recognized by government, which makes us uniquely placed to make sure we’re the first to know of changes in legislation and business practices that could affect our members. In turn by issuing regular bulletins … both printed and via e-mail … we keep you up to date.

In addition our secretariat constantly monitors the industry to make sure consumers are protected from rogue traders and services that do not meet normal industry standards and which, if unchecked, could have a negative impact on bona fide florists.
