'My mum said she could imagine me being a florist'
"My first memory of wanting to be a florist is because my mum said that she could imagine me being one," says Emma Parry.
Emma set up her business, The Bloom Project, at the age of 22.
"When I was about 13, my mum drove me around all the florists in Leicester asking for a Saturday job for me until we found somebody who would give me one, and it just went from there, really," says Emma, now 26.
"As a teenager, I would look at inspiring accounts on Instagram from florists all across the world and I just thought 'I'd really love to do that in Leicester'."
Emma was able to save about £4,000 to start her business, combined with a £12,000 loan from a local charity.
"To be completely honest, I didn't have any business experience - nobody in the family did - so it wasn't like I had anybody who could mentor me," she says.
