About Us, Opening Times, Sales Areas, Location

Open ONLY to bona-fide TRADE customers, our Cash & Carry warehouse is conveniently situated just 2 minutes from Junction 7 of the M27 motorway on the eastern outskirts of Southampton. We have a wide range of silk (polyester) flowers, artificial plants & trees, baskets, ribbons, balloons, glassware & soft toys on display, together with film wraps, sleeves, other packaging & presentation products, florists' greetings cards, envelopes, etc. We hold comprehensive stocks of florists' day-to-day needs including an in-depth stock of OASIS®, NAYLORBASE® & FOAM FRAMES® products and the Val Spicer 'Design Collection' of more than fifty specialised sympathy bases. We are an agent for AirProducts® Heligas and an Accreditted Chrysal® flower care stockist. Our three fully stocked sales vehicles call on florists' shops, garden centres, farm shops, confectioners, gift shops and other similar trade customers, on a regular basis, across the South of England & we are the prime supplier to trades on the Isle of Wight. All goods carried on the trucks are available for immediate delivery; the salesperson can also take forward orders for delivery overnight from the warehouse, or at the next scheduled visit.

                        We are open Monday to Friday from 08.30 -17.00 (at least)

and one Sunday morning each month - usually the second Sunday, 9.30 - 13.00 - please 'phone for details (especially for February/March/November which may be different!) We are easy to find, just two minutes from Junction 7 of the M27 motorway. FREE PARKING right outside our door, make your visit a day out as we are very close to a flagship Marks&Spencer store!

Rainbow Floral Sundries was started in the 1980's by Harry & Jean Hawkes selling artificial flowers from a small van. Over time Harry progressed through larger vehicles until acquiring a 'nursery' unit at Netley; eventually moving to the present address, then retiring at the end of 1990.

The business was then purchased by its current owner, Paul Bulpit, and continued to grow - opening hours and product ranges were extended & a truck was now needed as a full-time salesman joined; the business moved into a larger unit, next door. A second van & salesperson came on board to further extend coverage of the South's florists, and in 1996 the firm became a limited company by acquiring the stock, staff & assets of Power's (CF) Ltd., of Chandler's Ford, which lead to acquiring a third van.

By then, the adjoining warehouse had been taken & the firm now has over 5500 square feet of space over two floors.

The website was launched in March 2005 & in 2006 we acquired the next adjoining warehouse - we now occupy the whole block!
