A well-known Harrogate florist has finished in third place at the UK Florist of the Year 2024 final.
Helen Pannitt of Helen James Flowers on Station Parade was one of six battling it out during the final in Nottingham on Saturday (28th September).
She had booked her place in the competition, organised by British Florist Association, following success in the heats in June.
Helen’s daughter, Laura Pannitt, also competed in the final.
Taking to social media, colleagues congratulated the pair for their efforts and said they were "incredibly proud."

Laura had won gold at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show earlier this year.
Representing Helen James, Laura was awarded a gold medal in the RHS Chelsea Florist of the Year category.
