MMC Ventures leads Series A investment into letterbox florist Bloom & Wild alongside existing angels.
"We set out to create a flower brand that our customers genuinely love, with a focus on the best possible experience in buying and receiving flowers. The ability to place orders in seconds via our app and website, and to receive freshly cut and beautifully presented flowers through the letterbox, is clearly resonating with customers, and now with investors. Today’s funding marks an exciting next step – we look forward to working with Camilla and the team at MMC as we continue improving the proposition."

The investment from Smedvig will enable us to improve our digital capability and fund our expansion to meet the increasing demand for our services. With major changes to pensions just around the corner, we’re looking forward to welcoming many more clients to Profile and helping make their money go further for them."
