September has been a busy month for Floreus: crop inspections for Christmas and winter / early spring 2019 plants; work on Sedex and supplier databases; and providing temporary cover for a client while their Technical Manager was out of the business.

This work continues into October, with more trips to Holland and Belgium and also to Italy; audit preparation work; and keeping close to changes in plant health rules and other possible outcomes from Brexit.

On Wednesday 3 October the Chartered Institute of Horticulture held its AGM and conference, with ‘Life After Brexit’ as its theme. Gearing up for this is vital for all horticulture businesses in, and trading with, the UK. Floreus is able to provide support to clients on this and also the latest on plant health rules- more to follow after next week’s APHA Plant Health Day.
