About us
Flamingo Horticulture is a vertically integrated horticulture business active in the growing, processing, marketing and distribution of sustainably, produced flowers and premium vegetables. The group consists of the Flamingo Flowers and Flamingo Produce, Flamingo Horticulture Kenya, Flamingo Horticulture South Africa, Omniflora, Dudutech, Flamingo Flowers BV (FFBV) and our joint venture business FV Seleqt. The group is a core supplier to most of the leading UK multiple retailers, as well as internationally to customers in Europe, South Africa, the Middle East, Japan and Australia. The quality of our processing operations, logistics network and our ideally located farming operations in Africa give us the infrastructure and technical capabilities to deliver an impeccable service to all of our customers, helping us maintain our position as one of the leading, global companies within our industry. We have UK sites in Stevenage, Sandy, Spalding and Weston and large scale farming operations in Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa. The FFBV and FV Select businesses operate out of the Westland region in Holland, the Omniflora business is located near Frankfurt airport in Germany and our Dudutech business is based in Naivasha, Kenya. The company was formed in 1982 and grew through a series of organic and acquisitive developments until 2007, when it was itself acquired by James Finlay Limited (JFL). Following a successful period, which saw a significant period of capital investment, under the ownership of JFL the business was sold to Sun Capital in November 2015 and reverted to using the name Flamingo Horticulture in January 2016. The group has an annual turnover in excess of £300 million and employs more than 10,000 people across all of our locations. We are an ethical business and are fully committed to principles of fairness and sustainability in all of the geographies in which we operate.

Recently, Flamingo Horticulture had the pleasure of hosting the Waitrose Foundation at our Flamingo Farm in Kenya. This visit underscored our shared commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility, with a particular focus on enhancing school infrastructure for the local community. By investing in quality education, we aim to empower the next generation with the tools they need for a brighter future. In addition to our educational initiatives, we also highlighted our ongoing efforts in sustainability and environmental stewardship. Our practices are designed to minimize environmental impact, promote biodiversity, and ensure the long-term health of our ecosystems. Furthermore, we showcased the Okolea micro-credit program, which provides loans to our colleagues, helping to boost their livelihoods and support their families. Together with the Waitrose Foundation, we are dedicated to fostering sustainable growth, creating opportunities for the children of our community, building for future generations and protecting the natural environment that supports us all. ✨ #Waitrosefoundation #Buildingforfuturegenerations

Who thought the farm can’t have fun? 🚴♂️ It’s Throwback Thursday, and what better way to commemorate this day than to shout out our COO, John Meijer, and Peter Kamau for participating in the Loop Safari Gravel Series Race in mid-June! Flamingo Farm was buzzing with excitement as it hosted this thrilling event. Our stars did really well among 450 riders from 25 nationalities. This 3rd race in the 4-part series was also the first UCI race held in Kenya. What a good day. Happy Thursday! #FlamingoFarm #LoopSafari #GravelSeries #UCIRace #KenyaCycling #AdventureAwaits
