Hi
Whether you were for or against Brexit, there's no disputing we now find ourselves living in a time of great uncertainty.
Business has had a bad press in recent years and we shouldn't forget that the engine of the UK economy is small business. It's tough running a small business and the brave men and women who run our local independent companies, creating wealth, employment and opportunities for our local communities deserve our support.
That's why we're running a Buy Local campaign to encourage everyone to support their local small business, whatever they do. So whether it's tyres for your car, milk for your tea or flowers for your table, please buy from your local independent supplier whenever possible.
Look out for our Buy Local stickers in local shop windows. If you know of a local business which would like one or if you'd like one for your car please let us know.
All the best

Perfect Moment Florist

They deliver flowers to St Albans, Harpenden, Welwyn Garden City, Bricket Wood, Hatfield, Wheathampstead and surrounding villages. Their flowers are always fresh and great quality and they also offer plants, helium balloons, luxury chocolates and soft toys. So if you are looking to say thank you, congratulations, happy birthday or anniversary, get well soon, sorry or I love you, take a look at their great range of inspiring gifts.
After several years of Interflora flower deliveries being more leaves than flowers and not lasting very long. I came across Perfect Moment Florist. All of the bouquets they have sent to my mother over the last 3 years were excellent. Plenty of flowers with a compliment of foliage, long lasting and the delivery service was excellent. She was disabled so quite slow coming to the door, but having advised them of this, there was never an issue with needing a repeat delivery. They send an email with picture of the finished bouquet to the person that ordered the bouquet, also detailing that it was delivered. Great customer service!
When my mother passed this year, I used Perfect Moment for the funeral flowers. All 4 of the bouquets were amazing and exactly what we had discussed Mum would like. They were customized from the standard bouquets/pictures and the team were very friendly and helpful. I cannot speak highly enough of their kindness during a difficult time.

A&C Meats
A&C Meats is an award winning local butchers in St Albans and established game dealer selling traditional cut meats, hand made sausages, home made pies, cooked meats and deli products. With a reputation for providing a personal service and always offering top class produce, A&C Meats prepare all meats by hand, placing their order on a daily basis.
If you're looking for a REAL butcher, look no further!
These guys know exactly where their products come from, give great advice on which cuts to cook etc. The shop is welcoming and friendly, and the service is second to none.
I find them especially good as I am cooking for one. They are happy to weigh off small amounts, rather than supermarket 'value' packs. I like the feeling that it's an old fashioned way to shop, with personal service and a ready smile. I can't recommend the shop highly enough, just go and try them yourselves, you won't be disappointed!
