At Hoek group, we believe in the power of local expertise, strong relationships, and international collaboration. That is why we are proud to welcome two new companies to our group: South East Flowers in the United Kingdom and Hermes Bloemen, a specialist in flower exports to the Middle East.
These acquisitions mark another important step in our international growth strategy. Both companies bring decades of experience, a strong market position, and valuable expertise. By combining their knowledge with Hoek group’s international network as an international flower wholesaler, we can support our customers even better and further strengthen our position in the global flower industry.
Strengthening our position in the United Kingdom
With the addition of South East Flowers, we are expanding our presence in the United Kingdom, one of Hoek group’s key markets. Based in Ashford, Kent, this family-owned business has been a trusted partner for florists for many years, offering a wide range of flowers, plants and florist supplies to customers across the UK.
South East Flowers’ local market expertise and strong customer relationships are a valuable addition to our international sourcing and distribution network. Together, we will continue building a strong organisation that stays close to its customers while providing florists with a complete range of flowers, plants and florist supplies every day.
Expanding our activities in the Middle East
We are also taking an important step forward in the Middle East with the acquisition of Hermes Bloemen. For more than twenty years, Hermes Bloemen has been supplying fresh flowers to customers across the Gulf region, including Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
Over the years, the company has built extensive expertise in air freight logistics, product selection, and meeting the specific requirements of customers in this market. This expertise complements our existing operations and strengthens our international logistics and service capabilities in a region where demand for high-quality products for florists continues to grow.
Building the future together
By welcoming South East Flowers and Hermes Bloemen to Hoek group, we are not only adding two successful companies to our organisation, but also experienced colleagues with deep knowledge of their local markets. This perfectly reflects our vision of combining local entrepreneurship with the strength of an international network.
Together, we will continue to invest in quality, reliability, and a comprehensive range of flowers, plants, and florist supplies, allowing us to support florists and floral professionals around the world with the products and service they rely on every day.
