The owners of a popular independent business claim they have yet to be paid for working on events staged by a major high street retailer last year.
Michelle and Michael Waterfield, owners of A Slower Space on Penny Lane, which specialises in flowers and homeware, claim they are owed more than £2,000 after working with Tessuti on two events in November and December last year. Michelle, 43, said the work involved providing flowers, offering goody bags for influencers and staging a wreath-making class.
She said A Slower Space also provided a full floral arrangement for a bottomless brunch event hosted by Tessuti and Juicy Couture at Dash restaurant on Victoria Street. The small business owners told the ECHO that invoices have been sent for half of the money owed, with the other half to be paid to A Slower Space via a Liverpool-based PR company who are also said to be waiting on payment - which it is claimed is now more than 45 days overdue.
