Poundland’s Gift Buyer Frances O’Sullivan said: “Brexit will affect all businesses differently and we need to be prepared. Whatever the effects of the recent Brexit votes, we want our customers to carry on as normal.”

The retailer has reported a doubling of artificial flower sales (224 per cent) in the first quarter of 2019 versus the same period last year

In 2018, Mother’s Day flower spending reached £600 million in the UK.
