The week that was

Right, last week, how did we do? Not too bad. We’re a little bit down on volume compared to the previous two weeks, but that’s as a result of one of our supply groups coming towards the end of its season. Overall we’ve got about 18% of the crop left to harvest. We anticipate being finished by the weekend here in Lowestoft and it’ll take through to the end of the week after that for the Hull teams to get everything finished up.

So, to continue on the media interest in vegetable harvests, peas even got a mention on Terry Wogan (you could try this BBC listen again link if you missed it) this morning if you were up early enough to hear it!

Again this morning we’re very much tied up in a strategic review of where we are across our vegetable business to ensure we make the best of this quite difficult situation but that’s intriguing times as there are always opportunities to develop with this type of situation…

As far as this week’s concerned on Wednesday I’ve got Fergie, our managing director making a visit. We can talk him through everything’s that’s been going on and what needs to happen, so it’s all quite exciting and I’m looking forward to that, so I’ll keep you informed.
