History

Established in 1983.

Founded in 1983 by Mr Graeme Wiser, Fleurtations started off as a straight forward florist business selling plants and flowers. Over the years many more products were added, the biggest of which being Jellycat soft toys. In 2006 the first website was started with a hand full of products, this has now developed into a 500+ page site selling over 6,000 items to distant locations on the planet including Afghanistan, Singapore, New Zealand and the USA. Today the aim is to further develope the website and continue to add interesting quality items. Because the web is the answer to future marketing generations, it has been an absolute necessity to develope this side of the business, we could not, however, have forseen just how challenging but equally just how rewarding this approach would be.

Meet the Business Owner

Graeme W.

Business Owner

Born in 1956 and grew up with The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan, educated to degree level and then travelled for a few years before starting Fleurtations.

Have always had a passion for music, I can still remember watching Jimi Hendrix playing ‘Voodoo Child’ on Top of the Pops in 1968 and my mum telling me to ‘turn that rubbish off’, little did she know that Jimi was destined to become the world’s greatest guitar player, some would say he still is. My other passions are film, sport, British real ale (see photograph opposite: that’s me drinking a pint of Ruddles Best Bitter at the Peter Cushing Public House in Whitstable, Kent), fly fishing, chess, gigs and convsersation. Mum and my sister still work in the business, my two sons help out and my two daughters have also done their share, family is a big part of this business.
