LOS ANGELES (June 3, 2019) – Teleflora, the world’s largest floral services provider, today announced it has acquired Interflora UK, a leading provider of floral services and products in the United Kingdom. The acquisition expands Teleflora’s international reach.

The business models of Teleflora and Interflora complement one another, as both have been connecting consumers with the world’s best florists for decades. Their extensive florist networks, combined with a commitment to exceptional customer service, mean that customers are sending floral arrangements artistically arranged by local florists using only the freshest flowers available.

“We’ve been very impressed by the strength of Interflora’s brand in the UK, their management team, and their network of high-quality florists,” said Jeff Bennett, president of Teleflora. “We have complementary businesses, as Interflora prioritizes their retail florists, and we’ve long held a strategy of putting our retail florists first.”

Teleflora purchased Interflora for $59.5 million.
