TORONTO, Ont. - June 23, 2005 - Novator Systems Ltd. ("Novator"), a strategic online retail services provider, today announced that it has successfully re-launched the online ordering and delivery Web business for Interflora UK. Interflora is the world's largest and most popular flower delivery network covering over 58,000 florists delivering to over 140 countries. The Interflora UK partnership builds on Novator's successful 10-year history in the online flower industry.
"Novator has provided a seamless experience to our Internet customers with the launch of our new site, enhancing our reputation as The Flower Experts with the added capabilities of their e-retail expertise," said Michael Barringer, Marketing Director at Interflora UK. "Our florist membership is also assured of the latest technology and marketing support with Novator's technology platform and online retailing expertise.
