Wednesday

Can't believe it's Wednesday already! Time flies when you are having fun!
This morning we watched a quick film from Dragons Den about a guy who was pitching his business plan to potential investors. We were then split into groups where we were given 1 problem from 1 of the businesses we visited yesterday. The question we got was from wiggly Wigglers regarding the breaking into the funeral flower business. I must admit this wasn't my first choice if problems but we had a really good group consisting of Bob, Gunvor, Linnea and Janis. We worked really well together. We divided the presentation into sections so each of us had a chance to contribute to it. We suggested to Phil that they could produce leaflets and send them out to funeral directors and also organisations such as churches, hotels, life insurance companies, football clubs etc. On looking at the Great British Florist website we released that their funeral section could be updated to include more photographs of what is available and to add key words to google so that they appear higher up the list. They also won the Good Funeral Flower Award and they could use this to their advantage to gain and attract new business. One more thing that we came up with was to create an app for making and customising your own bouquets.
It was really interesting listening to everyone else's ideas and solutions to other problems and what they owners had to say about them. It was a really quick day because we were so busy planning our presentations.
In the evening we had a walk up the Malvern hills...it was a perfect night and the view of all the lights from the top was amazing and well worth the hike up to the top! Would gladly do that again in the dark and in the day light!
