Praise has come from a city business group after a Worcester shop was crowned the Best Florist in Worcestershire & Gloucestershire.
Floral Roundabout at 59 Sidbury received the accolade at the Muddy Stilettos Awards 2026.
The annual awards highlight the absolute best in regional independent businesses across the UK and see thousands of businesses vie for top spots each year.
Winners are determined entirely by a public vote, making the accolade a direct reflection of the love and support the florist has built within the local community.
The team at Worcester Business Improvement District (BID), which champions local city-centre businesses, congratulated the team and said it was a great boost for the city’s independent retail scene.
The organisation said: “This is an incredible achievement and a well-deserved recognition of their stunning artistry.
“Whether they are creating arrangements for grand events or simple, everyday moments, their passion shines through in every single bloom.
“We are incredibly proud to have an award-winning, independent business thriving right here in Worcester.”
Maisie Bradley, one of the florists at Floral Roundabout, told the Worcester News: “We are all absolutely thrilled to be named the best florist in Worcestershire and Gloucestershire.
“When we were nominated and when we were named a finalist, there was already this great sense of achievement.
“To be alongside so many other great florists was lovely, so we are absolutely thrilled.
“The community came together and supported us, which is really lovely.
“We are ecstatic to say the least, and we are really grateful to everyone because it makes a difference and boosts the mood of everyone who works here.
“We are so glad to be recognised, and hope to support many more people going forward.
“The business was taken over two years ago, and the staffing situation has changed greatly.
“We are working with less hands, but we keep going, so this is a real boost.”
