Junior Designer

Freddie's Flowers; Greater London; On-site; GBP 25,000 - 35,000; Full time

Job description

Freddie's Flowers was founded by Freddie Garland in October 2014 with one ambition: to change people's relationship with flowers. We believe flowers aren't only for grand occasions, but they make every day special, inspiring creativity and sparking joy.

Our starting point was our direct-to-consumer subscription model, helping us grow a loyal UK following. We launched in Germany in 2020, and then in 2021 we secured significant backing from The Craftory, a like-minded purpose-led global investment house, helping us expand, develop and grow. 2023 saw us start our gifting service - bringing the best of Freddie's Flowers to everyone who needs it (even last minute!).

From the seed of an idea we continue to flourish; we're now a B Corp organisation, certified Carbon Neutral (by the Carbon Trust). And our founding mission remains unchanged - to change the world of flowers, and to change the world with flowers.
