# A Closer Look at Tom Brown Wholesale: Supporting Floristry Across the UK

Behind every successful florist is a network of suppliers and industry partners who help bring their work to life. In the UK, [Tom Brown Wholesale](https://tombrownwholesale.co.uk/) has been part of that network for more than 50 years.
Founded by Tom Brown in 1975, the family-run business has grown into a leading wholesale resource for florists across London and the South East of England. While the company provides the flowers, plants, and floral sundries that florists rely on every day, its contribution to the floral industry goes far beyond that.
From supporting major floral exhibitions to contributing to industry events and organizations, Tom Brown Wholesale continues to play an important role in the UK's floral community.
## More Than 50 Years in the Floral Industry

Tom Brown Wholesale began in 1975 and has remained a family business throughout its growth. Today, the company operates from an 11,000-square-foot cash-and-carry in London, including a 3,000-square-foot temperature-controlled flower showroom and 5,500 square feet dedicated to floral sundries, as Corrine and Greg got to see in person during their tour.
The business offers an extensive selection of fresh flowers, plants, and floral products, giving professional florists access to products they need for everything from everyday orders to large-scale installations.
Tom Brown also offers online ordering and delivery, making it easier for florists to access products from growers and auctions worldwide.
For florists, having a supplier they can depend on is an important part of running a successful business. Tom Brown has built its reputation around service, reliability, attention to detail, and maintaining strong relationships with the florists it serves.
## Supplying the Flowers Behind Fleurs de Villes Diana
One of the most recent examples of Tom Brown's contribution to the floral industry was the [Fleurs de Villes Diana](https://blog.detailsflowers.com/blog/celebrating-princess-diana-through-floral-art-a-visit-to-fleurs-de-villes-diana) exhibition in London.
Tom Brown Wholesale served as the wholesale partner for the exhibition, supplying all the flowers used to create the installations, as well as those needed to refresh the designs throughout the exhibition.
Large-scale floral exhibitions require an incredible amount of behind-the-scenes coordination. Flowers need to be sourced, transported, and delivered in the right quantities and at the right time. Once the installations are in place, fresh product is also needed to maintain the designs throughout the exhibition.
Visitors experienced the finished artwork, but behind each installation was a team of suppliers helping make those designs possible.
## Supporting FleurEx and the British Florist Association

Tom Brown's involvement in the floral industry is also evident in its support for the [British Florist Association](https://britishfloristassociation.org/)(BFA) and [FleurEx](https://blog.detailsflowers.com/blog/the-best-of-uk-floristry-at-fleurex-2026).
FleurEx brings together florists, educators, suppliers, and other floral professionals for a weekend of education, networking, demonstrations, and inspiration. Tom Brown has been a significant supporter of the event, including FleurEx 2026 in Nottingham.
The company has also been recognized by the BFA, including being named Local Flower Wholesaler of the Year in the past.
Supporting events like FleurEx is an important part of building a strong floral community. These events give florists the opportunity to discover new products, develop their skills, meet other professionals, and stay connected to the industry.
Tom Brown's involvement shows that its role within UK floristry extends beyond supplying flowers. The company continues to support the people and organizations that help move the industry forward.
## A Floral Resource for the UK

For florists in the UK, having access to a dependable wholesale partner can make a significant difference. Tom Brown Wholesale offers an extensive range of flowers, plants, and floral sundries, along with online ordering and delivery services for professional florists.
But perhaps just as important is the company's continued involvement in the floral industry itself.
During our recent trip to the UK for the FPC Awards and FleurEx, Details CEO Corrine Heck and her husband, Greg, also had the opportunity to spend time with John and see a little of London through the eyes of someone who knows the floral community so well. One of their stops was Claridge's and its beautiful floral boutique, another reminder of the many ways flowers continue to be woven into London's culture and experiences.

We are grateful for the opportunity to learn more about Tom Brown Wholesale and the work they are doing across the UK floral industry.
For florists looking for a wholesale resource in London and the South East, Tom Brown Wholesale is a company worth getting to know—not only for the products they provide, but for the role they continue to play in supporting UK floristry!
