SUPPLYING WORLD CLASS PRODUCT TO LONDON AND THE SOUTH EAST IT’S WHAT WE DO We’d love to hear from you! jan@newspitalfieldsmarket.co.uk New Spitalfields Wholesale Market Best Wholesale Market <strong>2018</strong> +44 (0) 208 556 1479 @fruitnveg_spits W.NEWSPITALFIELDSMARKET.CO.UK
Wholesale Supplier of the Year Sponsored by New Spitalfields Market Winner GT Produce Finalist George Carruthers & Sons Carruthers overcame the immediate challenges of the Glasgow Fruit Market fire to continue trading and, through hard work and dedication, harness the potential for expansion to ensure the longevity and profitability of the wholesale fruit and vegetable industry in Glasgow. GT Produce has demonstrated its continuing dedication to the requirements of customers and investment in the wholesale sector. The company identified its customers’ need to access market information and have contact with the sales team at different times of the day compared to a traditional wholesale operation. Managers, staff and customers contributed to the decisionmaking to reorganise working practices. The company restructured its working day, increased the size of its cold store, and modernised its transport fleet. As a result, GT Produce extended opening hours by 100 per cent, increased customer contact and information, while at the same time reducing transport costs. The introduction of a five-day week for sales staff who previously worked six days a week makes a real change to their lives, and hopefully will help encourage younger recruits to the wholesale industry. Finalist Total Produce Total Produce has seen an unprecedented level of investment in new markets across the UK as well as extensive refurbishment projects at existing sites. With its investment in a management development scheme the company is set to develop and improve its skills set in readiness for future challenges. Judges’ comment: GT Produce had a clear customer strategy and was prepared to re-work the traditional market processes to enhance overall customer experience and maintain competitiveness FPC Freshawards - 5th June <strong>2018</strong> 13
