Our Growing Model

We combine direct grower relationships in Egypt, Kenya and India with a broader network of trusted suppliers, so we can select the right origin for each product, season and market. Volume is committed under a UK contract before each season opens, which is why quality holds from one container to the next and why a traceability question takes minutes rather than days.

Facilities

One Standard, End to End

What sits between the field and the container, and why it matters to your inspection.

Contracted growers

Volume committed to named farms before the season opens.

Audited pack houses

Certified packing houses holding BRCGS and ISO 22000 across our origins.

Cold storage

Pre-cooling within hours of harvest, cold rooms at every pack house.

Flexible Logistics

The right route for your destination.
Sea or air freight can be arranged through suitable ports and airports according to your requirements.
