About Us

...

George Preston Florist, is Newry's longest established local florist providing all your floral needs. Having originally been opened by George (Sr) & Elizabeth Preston in the 50s/60s, it has been a family run business; based on Sugar Island, Newry, for over 60 years.

After many highly successful and award winning years under her parents; George (Jr) & Bernie Preston, the shop is now in the third generation of management with Karen Sherwin.

Having originally trained as a chef, Karen's love for the shop, flowers and plants came from helping her parents during busy periods. After deciding to change career and train as a florist, Karen is now the proud owner of the business. Since then she has achieved many accolades, representing both herself and the shop, at both Irish and international floristry competitions; her proudest moment being awarded an RHS Chelsea Medal in floristry.
