A Northern Ireland entrepreneur who swapped the corporate life to become a full-time wedding florist is set to see her business blossom after receiving help from the government-backed Go Succeed service.
Louise McCooey, who specialises in weddings and events, established Farmgirl Florals in 2019, harnessing a life-long love of nature and creativity.
Based in the village of Park at the foothills of the Sperrins, Louise also operates a studio in south Armagh, allowing the business to cater for customers across the island of Ireland.
She threw herself into floristry full-time five years ago after a career in corporate finance that had taken her to London, Dublin, and Belfast.
