We currently have 39 sales/procurement staff in 9 locations in 3 countries – Southport, Spalding, Evesham, Manchester, Southend, Belfast, Emmen, Rotterdam and Almeria. We sold 186 different types of produce to 819 customers in 22 countries. We bought produce from 715 suppliers in 64 countries. Just under 30% of sales were to customers outside the UK. Around half the produce we bought in 2013/14 (by Country of Origin) was from the UK and the other half from overseas. In volume terms this translates to around 13,300 articulated lorry loads of produce across the year – approximately 51 lorry loads per working day. We also farm 340 acres in Lincs, Lancs, Cambs, and Norfolk. Our grower group, Richmond Farms, has 23 members and 37,000 tonnes of dedicated crops. We have a joint-venture onion packing facility with QV Foods – 40,000 sq ft on an 8 acre site at Long Sutton, Lincs. We also have our own large production and cold-storage facility at Poeldijk, near Rotterdam.Because we have such a strong presence in every sector of the produce industry, we are able to offer our growers a whole crop marketing service and our customers a full range of produce from around the globe throughout the year.
