Caroline Marshall-Foster
Considered one of the most popular and well-connected communicators in the industry, Caroline Marshall-Foster has followed – albeit in a slightly wiggly way – her landscape gardener grandfather and her Constance Spry trained mother to become one of the best known and respected faces of the global floricultural industry.
She won’t pull her punches if something is wrong, but she totally understands the challenges facing the whole sector.
She’s fascinated and enthused by new talent and developments, has few equals when it comes to networking, connecting and getting people enthused and loves the industry as much now as she did when she started.
Oh yes and she instinctively cuts her broccoli stems at an angle – it’s the florist in her!!
