The Women Behind our Flowers
Historically, flower
wholesale was a male dominated industry.
Seagroatt Riccardi now boasts a gender profile of 76 women and 35 men. The warehouse is an area where we have made
great strides and reaped equally great rewards! In celebration of International
Women’s Day, we are focusing on two amazing women at Seagroatt Riccardi.
Veronica
Jones came to us in
2014 and quickly
took the lead at the Will Call desk and Warehouse and now is our Operations Manager. One thing we have all noticed about her is that Veronica keeps the Warehouse as organized and tidy as she might her kitchen (she’s a fabulous cook!) Applying a philosophy of “we’re all in this together” has solidified camaraderie and efficiency in the Operations sector of Seagroatt Riccardi. Veronica’s favorite flower is Veronica because they share the same name!

Amanda LaJoy joined the SR team in 2015 and has dedicated
herself to the Operations Department as our Receiving Supervisor. She quietly,
with efficiency and proficiency, keeps us informed of where our product is in
the supply chain and when we can expect it to arrive. Most importantly, she
lets us know when we can get it on a truck to you. Amanda’s favorite flower is Rainbow
tinted roses because they surely will brighten up a person’s day!
Veronica and
Amanda are
two of the remarkable women working at Seagroatt Riccardi. We are proud of each and every one on our
team. They work quietly, confidently,
efficiently and humbly under the radar, but make everything happen to get your
flowers in and out on time. Each brings a spirit of collaboration and
cooperation that gets things done! We are honored to celebrate each and every
one of our women on International Women’s Day!
