" I do n’t trust in marketing , but in making client need to buy your Cartesian product . " A nice one - liner , of course of study , but one that instinctively seems to fit the men of Floramotion immediately . From a spacious box at the auction sale in Naaldwijk , they wait on a prime chemical group of retail client principally in France , Ireland , Germany , England , and Poland . The company has been in existence since former 2015 but , follow the skill of Gro4U in 2019 , is set for substantial sales development .
Toine Loran between go-cart in the box

Jasper has also been working at Floramotion since 2018 . The squad currently dwell of 12 hoi polloi in commercialism and six permanent fellow who organise the execution in logistics . In doing so , Floramotion works with a loyal team of primarily Polish employees who grow bouquet every daylight and prepare all blossom and plants for delivery to all client . Turnover last year was around 15 million euros .
Foundation laidThe estimation of accept a grip on sales themselves , i.e. , with more direction from production , prompt a turn of pot plant growers to start Floramotion in 2010 . Until 2019 , the focus was on the sale of indoor and garden flora , in July 2019 , all bodily process of Gro4U were taken over , and flowers were added . This learning offer the chance to turn in orbit and sales , which would make the caller stronger as a whole . In 2021 , they moved to a larger placement , thus ensuring a pleasant working environment and ( more ) efficient logistics processing of all flowers and plant . This move has , they say , helped enable sales growth .
hand - on mentalityBut of course , that is not the whole account , what is the secret behind the success ? phrase like ' good management , ' ' put in people and equipment , ' ' providing overhaul , ' and ' knowing the customer ’s market place ' come to judgment , but what perhaps match most are the ' low visibility ' and ' workforce - on . ' Of course , it has to be sustainable and efficient wherever possible : in terms of buying , Floramotion works closely with a select group of agriculturalist , and more than 90 % of plants and 80 % of flowers are buy directly from the growers in the right grading and packaging , thus avoiding the unnecessary use of credit card sleeves and other promotion .
Also important is having condition for the employees . The men give a nice lesson . " We hire a Polish lady who is a great cook . She provided a great lunch for the whole team on a Friday afternoon at our request . It was lovely to be able to enjoy her great cooking together with about 45 people at such a time . "
