On May 14th 2010, Fruitful Office donated fruit to help the British Red Cross in their “Call My Bluff” fundraising wine event.
The British Red Cross managed to raise £8,573 (net) through this event, which is a great result!
The British Red Cross helps people in crisis, whoever and wherever they are. The money raised through events like these help them to continue their vital work.
The Fresh Produce Journal interviewed our fruit buyer, Niels Bischoff, to find out why only top-quality fruit will suffice for us.
Niels: “Our quality is our unique selling point, along with our environmental credentials and our market position. We have made a name for ourselves and we get a lot of business from client recommendations, so that’s worked well for us… It is quite competitive but many of our clients have actually come to us from other companies, where they have not been happy with the quality of fruit provided.”
