I think we may be getting there now
Hi, it’s Colin on Saturday. Things are just starting to ease up a little bit now down in Lowestoft and we’re running only at half-capacity today. We’ll be a little bit busy beginning of next week and then of the three harvest groups we’ve got one finishing probably on Tuesday, so the end is in sight after a long, hard campaign.
Following on from the comments yesterday, obviously the press today has been full of the situation—the impact of the hot and dry on the availability of a whole range of vegetables. Peas feature very strongly in all those comments (they’re in the leader in The Times and everything else) so no doubt we can expect a lot more media attention in the next few days…
The ISO 14001 was completed at Hull and things look very encouraging but it will be be a week to ten days for Lloyds to do the technical assessment and then come back and let us know if we’ve been accredited, so we still have to keep our fingers crossed, but we’re extremely confident:-)
I’ll talk to you a bit later on.
