Executive Assistant - FreshCut Paper

About Us:

FreshCut Paper is a rapidly growing and evolving design forward startup. We are entering into the $8 Billion cut flower industry with a green, cost effective contemporary alternative.

Created by renowned designer Peter Hewitt in 2020. Our life-sized pop-up floral bouquets consist of breathtaking blooms that are wilt-proof, care free, and non allergenic. We are poised to take a bite out of the $8 billion fresh cut flower industry and the $6 billion greeting card market. Our product is a compelling, contemporary, alternative way to send flowers.

Beyond having a fraction of the carbon footprint of imported flowers, we plant a tree for every bouquet sold, and partner with 1% for the Planet, an organization and global movement that tirelessly works to tackle our planet’s most pressing environmental issues.

Our beautiful office is located in the historical Bradford Mill alongside a community of start-ups and artists.
