< Arena Flowers
Arenaflowers.com is a London winner of the UK’s premier entrepreneurship competition, the HSBC Start Up Stars award. The team at Arena saw off over 300 other London entrants to pick up the award just 12 months after launching the business and Arena was the youngest company to win. Innovative elements of the business, such as the ability to include a video message, or photo with flowers, Arena's strong ethical credentials and its close ties with flower growers were reasons given for Arena picking up the award. Arena is proud to win the prize on behalf of the flower industry.

Arena Flowers >
Arenaflowers.com is the first UK florist to be accredited under the Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Company programme. Arena won the accreditation partly through having become the first UK florist to sell ethical, FFP-accredited flowers but also by being diligent in reviewing all areas of its business to look for opportunities to be green, including a trial of an electric flower delivery van! The accreditation is a great reward for the team’s hard work and the certificate is now proudly displayed in the office for all to see! Read more about Arena flowers's ethical initiatives.
