What Staples Can Offer
 

Direct control over every process in the supply chain means that we can operate a complete quality assurance and traceability programme from seed to customer.

This begins with soil analysis, seed selection, pesticide residue testing, continuing through the supervision of the harvesting process, packhouse procedures to final pack checks.

Total in-house production reduces the risk of outside contamination and means that all processes can be based around a common aim of providing a superior product.

Because we own and control all the factors of production from seed to customer we can operate fully integrated traceability and quality assurance systems.

Product Ownership
Stability of Supply

Having multiple sites spread across Lincolnshire, IOW and having dedicated suppliers in Spain and Portugal allows us to spread production on to take advantage of different climatic and other growing conditions to give the best possible continuity of supply. We aim to have year round availability from the UK when ever possible.

Large Volumes of Product
Because we are one of the largest independent UK producers of Brassicas, we have the capacity to service large multiple retailers.

Assured delivery
We operate our own fleet of refrigerated vehicles all fitted with global tracking. New fleet replacement programme will mean 70% of our fleet meets the new TC45 standard for pollution levels; qualifying it for a reduced pollution certificate.
