Our Team
David Bland
Managing Director
David always dreamed of running his own business and kind of 'fell into' the industry at a young age. He soon developed a passion for flowers, but wanted to be able to offer the client a more complete overall service.
David oversees the business development at Bon bloemen as well as buying directly from Dutch auctions on a daily basis.
He’s a mad Man Utd fan!
