A FLORIST has moved out of the city centre and into a workshop because of rising costs.

The owners of Hopmarket Flowers decided to leave Foregate Street because of increased costs.

However, they have reassured customers that the business is still open through the phone and through its website. 

A spokesperson for Hopmarket Flowers said: "The business has moved to a workshop because of rising costs. 

"With rising costs we want to offer the same great value to customers that we always have. 

"The business will still be available online and over the phone and will allow us to offer our customers the same value we have always offered them."
