Moving abroad made it very difficult to offer help and support to friends and family. On one particular occasion, a close family friend was in real need of a hug, and Post a Hug was born. We have now sent Hugs all over the world.

I have spent many years as a florist, and love the challenge of creating beautiful arrangements. I firmly believe that the future lies with Post a Hug as the unique alternative to flowers, a way of saying so many different things - I love you, I miss you, I'm sorry, I'm thinking of you, Thank you, and on and on.... A gift that lasts forever.

My husband and I founded a state of the art self storage solution in the North West of England, and over 4 years expanded it to become the pre-eminent self-storage provider with, arguably, the highest occupancy rates of any in the UK. Selling to the largest European operator in 2007.
