Flowers.ie, Ireland's premier online flower store delivering flowers, bouquets and arrangements locally, nationally and internationally, has just taken delivery of the first of a fleet of five Fiesta Vans.  The company will use the Fiesta Vans for the express delivery of flowers and flower products nationwide in Ireland. 

"The Fiesta Van is the ideal vehicle for a company like flowers.ie", said Paul O'Sullivan, Regional Manager for Ford Ireland. "Its low running costs and great manoeuvrability make it the perfect choice for delivering to houses, great and small, around the country. Its top class safety rating ensures the fragile flower products arrive in pristine condition".

Martin O'Gara, General Manager of flowers.ie said: "Our drivers love the Fiesta Van - it is a great car to drive and with our branding on the vehicle it really is a 'head-turner' on the road.  We are also keeping our costs low with three years free servicing, three years roadside assistance and a three year warranty".

The company has seen a significant growth in business from Irish people who are working and living abroad to the extent that now 40 percent of flowers.ie business comes from overseas clients. The company enables the Irish abroad to send a gift of flowers to loved ones back home to mark special occasions that the emigrants are missing.

"It is bittersweet for ourselves in that our business is benefiting to a large extent from the high number of Irish people who have left our shores over the last number of years", said O'Gara. "However, we provide a valuable service in keeping those emigrants in touch with their loved ones in a very real way and that is very heartening".
