After many years in Hereford Butter market a very difficult decision has had to be made (which a few already know) Which is that the time has come for me to retire.
Although we will be here a little longer we do need to make plans, so unless anyone wishes to purchase the business it will close down around Christmas time.
I have been at Hillmans for 50 years, so a huge part of my life, which is why it has been so difficult to make this decision. This now means I can do things which I have always put aside.
This has been a long and enjoyable journey with lots of changes, within the Butter Market, floral trends and fashions and in the flower industry in general.
Not forgetting the wonderful customers who through laughter and tears have become friends all of which I will always be grateful. I take this opportunity to thank you both past and present for your continued support and loyalty- Thank you!
We will however be here for your Christmas flowers, cards, memorial items and wreath making sundries and lots more, we will possibly sell out of some things earlier than usual and some stock will be reduced as we go.
Therefore this means our usual Christmas orders will be limited and last Christmas deliveries will be on December 22nd.
Thank you for taking the time to read our announcement and please feel free to call in and see us, say hello as we draw to a close.
Thank you Barbara
