I'm Claire Perren, an entrepreneur from Surrey with a long history in the floral industry. Over the years, I've owned several businesses, most of which have focused on flowers. Before meeting Laura, I ran a flower subscription service, delivering across Surrey and Southwest London.
When I met Laura, she (had set up) and was running Lord Robert’s on The Green , a local eatery, while also juggling a career in TV presenting. We partnered with her to sell flowers to her customers, and she was incredibly helpful in guiding us with ideas to boost sales and improve our business. Laura’s input was invaluable, she not only offered creative business strategies but also organised a major Christmas market, bringing together 20 small businesses to showcase their products.
Laura’s advice has been a game changer for me. She’s been a steady mentor, offering guidance that’s been essential in growing my business. She’s honest, reliable, and genuinely cares about helping others succeed. I’ve never met an entrepreneur who multitasks like Laura. She manages to balance her own ventures while always making time for those around her.
Inspired by Laura’s success with her own café, I decided to follow in her footsteps and open my own establishment. With her expertise and advice, I turned my dream into reality and launched a local coffee shop and tearoom in January 2024. She guided me through the potential challenges in the coffee industry, helped me navigate regulations, and was instrumental in creating a strong team.
Today, I run BloomLDN , a high-end flower company providing premium blooms to exclusive offices and private clients. It’s a business I’m incredibly proud of.
The future is bright, and I’m always on the lookout for the next opportunity. I like to think of myself as a "butterfly entrepreneur," constantly evolving and chasing new ventures. Laura has been a key figure in my journey, someone I will always look up to. For me, doors continue to open, and I’m always ready to take risks and follow my dreams.
If you're considering working with Laura, don’t hesitate, just do it! She has a wealth of knowledge, honed over years of experience. I have the utmost respect for any woman who can navigate the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship like she does. And on top of all that, she’s always smiling and ready for the next adventure. What more could you ask for?
