Listen "Florists 'scared' to speak out against key supplier"
Episode Synopsis
Auckland flower sellers have said "you'd be hard pushed to find a happy florist" as their industry is hit by turmoil. Since the city's major flower supplier, United Flower Growers, went exclusively online, florists say there have been a raft of problems. The florists spoken to by Checkpoint also feel their concerns are being ignored, but fear that if they speak out against UFG they'll be blacklisted. The CEO for United Flower Growers says his organisation has done nothing wrong. All the florists in Evie Richardson's report fear their business will be at risk if they speak out, so have elected to remain annonymous.
