It's about our innovation

We realise that being passionate about supplying, fresh, high quality produce isn't always enough. So we're also on the forefront of industry innovation, not only product innovation but processes, technology, packaging and public relations.

As well as encouraging and supporting traditional skills, we also champion advances in technology, whilst always taking environmental impacts into account. Such commitment has led to important advances in British horticulture such as year-round production of UK tomatoes and the first winter production of Cos lettuce in the UK.

Each month we have a team who meet to discuss the latest industry developments and assess new product ideas that have been submitted. This is an excellent forum in which to showcase new product ideas and we welcome submissions from our current supply base and any budding potential new suppliers out there. Below are the dates that each sample should be submitted for inclusion in our innovation forum:
