Fruitful Office at the NEC
March, 2008
Fruitful Office participated in this year’s Health and Wellbeing at Work exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham (5th/6th March). This was the first year an office fruit supplier took part - and the buzz created around our service offering was quite inspiring. We very much enjoyed discussing the benefits of offering fresh fruit to staff with participants from right across the country. We believe that the strength and depth in turnout (from both exhibitors and participants) is testament to how the health and wellbeing of employees is becoming an increasingly important item on companies’ agendas.
And remember, everyone who was at the exhibition gets 25% off a 2-week trial!

We started 2008 with a bang - helping hungry City employees reach their 5-A-DAY by giving them a piece of fruit on their way to work. They absolutely loved it, and consumed over 1,000 pieces of fruit in less than 2 hours!
Every one who received a piece of fruit, also received a “free office fruit basket” offer so that they could share our yummy fruit with their colleagues at work. Now that’s a mouthful …
