International Women's Day - March 8

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!
