45 Years in the making
Forty Five years ago when Eamonn and Ita Kelly began their wholesale flower business they could never have predicted the size and scale of the changes ahead.
Following in their footsteps the business is now being driven forward by the second generation of family, ensuring that today it truly is a global enterprise.
Family Ties
Perhaps Kelly Flowers Wholesale now known as KFW Group greatest strength is the strong family connection, together with their team of loyal, hardworking and knowledgeable staff, many of whom have been with them for over 25 years (and some a lot more than that!).
The common purpose is to supply the greatest variety and highest standard of cut flowers , pot plants and accessory products from across the world.
KFW Group purchased the trading business of J. Horner & Co.
With the KFW Group continuing to go from strength to strength, we made the decision to expand further. This expansion was made possible through the acquisition of J. Horner & Co.
Although we no longer trade from the original site we have added their product range to Lisburn so that we are able to offer our customers a larger selection of products.
Global Operations
Making this happen seamlessly is a huge operation, yet it goes on every day across Europe, South America, Africa and the Middle East. In Rijnsburg, Holland for example the KFW Group depot and transport hub is sited at the flower auction itself.
