bloomon is turning the flower industry on its head – for the better. How? By disrupting the traditional supply chain! We skip the auction and wholesale, to shorten the journey for our flowers. And we harness technology, brand and innovation to deliver gifts and subscriptions that delight our customers across Europe.
We launched in Amsterdam in 2014, and in 2021 joined forces with Bloom & Wild, the UK’s fastest growing ecommerce company (according to the Financial Times). Our group is backed by top tier investors and is now home to a family of 3 strong brands, Bloom & Wild, bloomon and Bergamotte. Together, we’ve delivered over 20 million orders (and counting!), making us the largest direct to consumer flower business in Europe.
Our vision is to create the destination for making life a little more thoughtful and beautiful. And we won’t stop at flowers and plants. Starting with the Bloom & Wild brand, we’re expanding our gifting offering to other categories like cakes, candles and cocktails. This is all part of our ambition to build Europe’s #1 direct to consumer gifting destination.
We care wildly about people and our planet. Which is why we’re so proud to be a certified B Corp™ – committed to making long-term positive change for our community, and the world around us.
️ Operations Team @ Bloom & Wild Group
The Operations team at bloomon and Bloom & Wild is split into two sub-teams, although in practice there is a close collaboration between all these sub-teams on a daily basis:
- Production and Supply Chain - centralized around our two main warehouses near Amsterdam and Birmingham the teams run our sourcing, supply chain, production and fulfilment operation. They cover the full range of products we process in our own warehouses: flowers, plants, gifts, food & drinks, packaging material and much more. They optimise for customer satisfaction, On Time-In Full fulfilment, quality and associated COGS.
- Fulfilment and Customer Operations - managing our partially outsourced sourcing, production and fulfilment in the UK, optimising our delivery organisation in all countries we are active in and servicing our customers with the Customer Delight team. The team works closely with our partners to achieve operational excellence and optimise for quality and customer satisfaction, delivery performance, capacity and associated COGS.
The procurement and inventory team is part of our Production and Supply chain domain, and is responsible for the inventory of all non-horti products used in all warehouses of our group. Among others this covers packaging materials (eg. flowerboxes, wrapping paper, ribbons), lifestyle products (eg. vases, candles, baby clothing), food & drinks (chocolates, biscuits, alcoholic beverages). With our rapidly expanding range, the amount of categories and products is continuously growing.
The main responsibility of the procurement and inventory team is ensuring that we have the right materials, in the right place, with the right quality for the best price and in the most sustainable way possible.

This team is also responsible for optimizing our inventory position to balance maximising availability for customers and limiting our stock holding in line with stock cover goals and supply chain timelines.
