83 Years of Service
Teleflora was founded in 1926. It was
the first florist relay service in New Zealand
by many years and one of the first in the
world.
Our members are proud of their heritage. Over the years two books have been written and published detailing the early years of
Teleflora in New Zealand. They provide great pen-portraits of some of the many characters in our several generations of florists.
Because we were the first
service in New Zealand, much of our
historical material has been donated to the national archives as a history of floristry in New Zealand.
For the convenience of those who
would like to read more about our
history, we have provided links below to
download these two books in PDF. A free Adobe PDF reader will be required to read these documents and is available
here.
Our Local Florist Network
At Teleflora we have a New Zealand network
of around 120 approved member florists.
Internationally, we're connected to over
50,000 affiliated florists based in 84 countries.
Teleflora is administered by a central service
that accepts phone and web orders and distributes
them via our network of local florists so
the recipient gets the freshest flowers
beautifully designed.
Because we're such a visible brand, we're
motivated to ensure that our reputation
for high standards is maintained. Any customer
should feel that there are systems in place
to ensure that their gift gets the attention
it deserves... that their gift will be delivered
on time and to a standard they'd be pleased
with.
Teleflora also maintains standards within
the organization through workshops, an annual
conference, educational weekends and visiting
international exhibitors. In short, we're
serious about refining our service to be
the best it can be.
