40 Years in business & a massive congratulations to Professional Travel Limited located in Dungannon.
What a fantastic achievement - time to book a holiday!

Today is a very special day for us as we celebrate an incredible 40 years in business 💝

On 1st September 1986, this incredible woman opened the doors of her business in Dungannon for the very first time.

Over the past 40 years there have been so many changes, so many familiar faces and countless wonderful memories made along the way. Through it all, her hard work, dedication and commitment to her customers and staff have remained at the heart of the business.

We are incredibly proud of everything she has achieved ✨

Most importantly, we want to say a huge THANK YOU to every single person who has supported the business over the last 40 years - whether you’ve been coming through the door from 1986 or have only recently discovered us. Your loyalty and support have made this milestone possible, and it means more to us than we could ever put into words.

Here’s to 40 amazing years, to Shirley & to everyone who has been part of the journey 🥂

1986 - 2026 💝

🌸 Want your flowers to stay fresher for longer? 🌸

A little TLC goes a long way when it comes to keeping your blooms looking their best. Here are Caroline Owens Florist top tips for extending the life of your flowers at home:

💐 Start with a clean vase and fresh, cool water
✂️ Trim 1-2cm from each stem at a 45° angle - this helps them drink more water
🍃 Remove any leaves sitting below the waterline to prevent bacteria build up
🌼 Add the flower food provided for extra nourishment
☀️ Keep flowers away from direct sunlight and radiators, changing the water every 3-5 days and giving stems another trim

Follow these simple steps and you'll enjoy your flowers for even longer.

BBQ season isn’t over just yet 🔥🥩

With the last of the summer bank holidays this weekend, we called into McAtamney’s Butchers in Cookstown, to speak to Butcher Manager Paddy Kelly. Paddy shared some of his top tips for making the most of those late summer BBQs.

Thinking of firing up the BBQ this weekend? Paddy’s advice on choosing the right cuts and getting the best results from the grill should come in handy. 👀
