Kim James began her career in Floral Design as a trainee in 1974 with a busy London West End florist. After a few years she established her own business based in a hotel in Park Lane. There she combined her strong sense of colour and design, the love of nature and a genuine passion for flowers, which all proved to be a winning combination. Many of her clients came from various backgrounds including the Royal Family and famous media celebrities.

Kim left the floral industry for a few years to become a Counsellor. After qualifying she left London and moved to South West Wales in 2004.

Angela Ballard began her career in the newspaper industry working for The Observer for several years. However, her life long love of music gave her an opportunity to work at Kiss FM in London as a radio presenter, where she hosted her own show for a decade. She left Kiss FM to run her own business using her other creative skills in photography, graphic art and interior design.
