Our take
Bloom & Wild is an online flower delivery platform supplying a modern approach for sending flowers to loved ones. Its product approach is to sell flowers as bouquets, with smaller bouquets being able to fit through a typical UK mail slot in a small box, making it extremely easy to deliver.
The company operates across a number of countries, including Germany, France, Austria, and the Netherlands. It has utilised its two acquired businesses - Netherlands-based Bloomon, and French competitor Bergamotte - to expand the range of products it offers and reach new customers. It also launched a subscription service for consumers purchasing flowers for their own homes.
Expanding beyond its digital roots, Bloom & Wild has experimented with physical retail concepts - most notably its launch in Sainsbury’s stores. On top of international expansion, significant funding, and a unique concept, the company has become a recognised brand and surely positioned itself for a bright future.
