AN ambitious 16-year-old has gone into business with her older sister.
Caroline Jones and her sister Julianne, 23, have set up a florist's shop in West Auckland.
Fabulous Flowers, in Front Street, which opened last week, offers services for everthing from weddings and funerals to simple bouquets. The building the sisters took over has been transformed into a chic shop.
Caroline said: "I left school and I really wanted to do floristry, but I wanted to do my own thing. My sister and I went to do a year's course in floristry and decided that we should go into business together. We are still going back for short courses at college to get more and more skills. We are just seeing how it all goes at the moment."
