Abigail said: "I am so proud to have been chosen for this prestigious award by the British Florist Association.
"The award is not just recognition of my achievement but of the whole team and our wonderful students here at The Sheffield College.”
Meanwhile, two college students also placed well in the awards. Oliver Low won the Institute of Professional Florists Student of the Year category. Kirsty Noble, a former college apprentice, was awarded the Joint Highest Practical Mark in the Level 4 Higher Diploma 2024 category.
