1,000 bouquets donated to carers and the vulnerable in Lincolnshire

A Dutch flower business which has a factory in Moulton near Spalding has donated 1,000 bouquets to care workers, NHS staff and those in need in Lincolnshire.

Green Partners is the largest flower processing company in Europe and supplies thousands of bouquets from its site in South Holland to UK supermarkets every day.

After hearing about the Greater Lincolnshire LEP’s appeal for help to #FeedtheNation, Green Partners were keen to do something to show their support for the county's combined efforts.

Operations Manager John Berry said:

On Thursday (9th April) 500 bouquets were delivered to CRG Homecare which cares for over 400 elderly and vulnerable people in the Boston and Sleaford areas.

CRG Homecare worker Jamara Wright received a free bouquet of flowers.

Jeanette Kassim, CRG Homecare Boston’s Registered Branch Manager, said:

A second donation of 500 bouquets will be delivered on Thursday (16th April) to staff at United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust.

Green Partners first opened its UK production facility in Moulton in 2012. Since then south Lincolnshire has become the centre of the country’s cut flower industry with nearly 19% of all English production in Lincolnshire.
