What we do

Our customers are at the heart of everything we do, and our relationships are built on trust, transparency and great service.

With our unique focus on British fruit from our collaborative grower base we strive to ensure that our UK grown product retains its podium position on shelf, echoing our mantra ‘British to the core’

We recognise the importance of marketing the whole crop to ensure both sustainability and return on investment. Our strategy is to match the right product with the right consumer.

We provide agronomic advice, new product development, pricing, storage, packing, handling and financial all the way through to market analysis, business intelligence, consumer psychology, brand development and category management.
