Gillian's Graduation From Rodbaston College June 2004 About Be Inspired...

  • I studied City and Guilds Level 2 (Professional Floristry) and Level 3 (Advanced Floristry) at Rodbaston College from 2001 to 2004.
  • The courses included a range of subjects from flowers as gifts, wedding flowers, funeral and sympathy flowers, arrangements of all shapes and sizes, international and period floristry, structural display designs and planted designs.
  • I passed every assignment with distinction, and won the Amanda Chatfield Challenge Award for the top student on the Advanced National Certificate in Floristry in June 2004.
  • I worked in a local florist shop for several years while I was studying and then started my own business Be Inspired... in the early part of 2005.
  • During 2006, I opened my first shop in the village of Shenstone, which is just outside Lichfield on the road to Sutton Coldfield.
  • We now have a small but enthusiastic team working for Be Inspired...
  • At Be Inspired... we are members of The British Florist Association and The Society of Floristry.
