Wishing my little brother a happy retirement as he closes his shop in Abercynon at the end of this month.
Put those feet up Laws and enjoy your well-deserved rest!

A heartfelt farewell from Gwillim Florist Abercynon.

With mixed emotions, we announce that Gwillim Florist Abercynon will close its doors for the final time on Tuesday 30th June, as Lawson retires for a well-deserved break!

Since opening in 1952, our family business has had the privilege of serving the people of Abercynon and the surrounding communities for over 70 years. Through generations of customers, we have shared in life’s happiest celebrations, from weddings, anniversaries and birthdays, to offering comfort and support during times of loss.

For Lawson, this decision marks not only the closure of a business but the end of a family legacy that began with his parents Nita and Graeme, more than seven decades ago. Taking over the business and continuing the traditions, values and personal service that his parents established has been one of the greatest honours of his life.

Making the decision to retire has not been easy. Gwillim Florist has been far more than a shop - it has been a way of life, a place filled with friendships, stories, laughter and memories. We have watched families grow through generations and have been fortunate enough to become a small part of so many lives.

As we approach our final day on 30th June, Lawson and the family would like to offer their deepest and most sincere thanks to every employee, customer, friend, supplier and member of the community who has supported us throughout the years. Your loyalty, kindness and trust have enabled us to continue doing what we love for over seventy years.

While it is difficult to say goodbye, we leave with immense pride, gratitude and countless cherished memories. The support shown to our family since 1952 will never be forgotten.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of your lives and for making Gwillim Florist such a special part of Abercynon for generations.

With heartfelt thanks and best wishes,

Lawson and family
