Meet the suppliers: Horsham edition
By Ellie Marsden
Horsham has quietly become one of the strongest small-supplier towns in West Sussex, and it is where a good chunk of our roster is based.
SOLI Cakes make the kind of birthday cake you actually want to eat — sponge that has not been sitting in a warehouse, buttercream that tastes of butter. They deliver across West Sussex on their own vans.
Fleurs Florist arrange by hand, in-shop, and refuse to send anything they would not send to their own mother. It is the sort of standard that is hard to write into a supplier contract, so we do not try — we just work with people who already hold it.
Cards Direct print locally, which means we can offer proper handwritten-feel cards without a two-week lead time. It is a small thing that makes the whole experience feel less automated.
