A history of Lovania

Lovania was founded in 1980 by Len, Keith and Celanie Ball. The name Lovania is taken from the last ship that Keith’s father, Len was stationed on during WWII. Because HMS Lovania was one of the few ships that wasn’t sunk during action in the Mediterranean, Keith decided it was a good name for the new business.

A company led by investment

Today Lovania supplies over 30 million plants to over 1,200 businesses every year, We place our customers at the heart of everything we do and have put substantial investment in our facilities, our staff and technology to ensure they receive the best possible product and have the widest possible choice.

Investment and experience

In a market where presentation, delivery and consistent standards are balanced by the need to deliver at a price point, it is our scale, investment and experience that enables us to meet these demands and deliver plant and flowers that consistently exceeds all our customers’ expectations.

Investment in our customers
