Zoe has worked in the wedding industry for the last 10 years, successfully running her wedding floristry business ‘Zoe The Wedding Florist ‘. She has won numerous awards helping her gain an excellent reputation as one of the leading North Easts most creative and talented wedding florists. Zoe always loved to make things as a child and found her self in the floristry industry as a teenager where she trained and worked for 6 years before embarking on a 20 year career as a police officer. During this career she gained numerous life skills and a great understanding of customer service and satisfaction,  communication and reassurance.

Zoe launched her business 10 years ago and spent 8 out of those 10 years juggling her police work,  business and raising 4 young children.

As the business continued to grow, Zoe was creating wedding flowers for around 150 weddings each year. This success enabled her to leave the police and focus full time on her business.

Having previously won the florist category on 3 occasions in the NOEWAs, Zoe has an excellent understanding on what is required to stand out in this competition and the work and dedication required to take part.

“This year I’m honoured and excited to be asked to judge. The awards night is always such a fantastic event and I’m looking forward to this new challenge in my career!

I will be looking for people who share my passion and dedication in making a couples day perfect”
