Whats Happening With Brexit06 November 2019There has a been so much talk of Brexit, that we couldn't resist adding to it! We buy directly from Holland every day, we use local growers where ever possible, but the bulk has to come from Aalsmeer. The main issue is that all paperwork has to be submitted to customs. As part of the E.U., there hasn't been a problem and the documents can be sent at around 12pm, meaning we can order in th emorning for next day delivery. However, in the veent of a No Deal all paperwork must be submitted by 9am, the fresh flowers don't leave the auction until 8am, so this means we will not get next day, but rather 3rd day delivery. If there are 6 hour delays at the tunnel, then this could mean the day after. So hopefully there will be a deal. We are Hollands 2nd largest customer, so i imagine they will be able to sort something out. If not then there may be a revival of the British Flower Industry. Either way i imagine the South American Flower Industry will benefit, if the civil unrest doesnt damage it too much.... so nice and easy then?!?!?
