Our Story

In our early years we worked with 40 years ago we worked with just a handful of regions. Now we source from over 40 countries stretching from right here in the UK to as far afield as New Zealand. In today’s market strawberries are no longer just a summer treat, and once-exotic mangoes are a household fruit. As times change so we work hard to stay on top of evolving tastes.

Partnering with the best growers across both hemispheres means that we're able to meet demand for consistent, high quality produce throughout the year. And we are continually striving to minimise the distance from farm to fruit bowl so that your blueberries, cherries, tomatoes, or figs arrive looking as fresh as when they were harvested.

"Working with dps for over a decade has been a true pleasure. Together, we've built a strong and reliable partnership that has allowed us to grow the passion fruit category in the UK. We’re proud to consistently supply high-quality fruit that meets Tesco standards, and even prouder of the trust and teamwork we’ve developed along the way. It’s been a great journey — and we’re excited to keep growing together.”

What we do

Whether we’re bringing cherries from Chile or strawberries from Spain, we always aim to pick, pack, and deliver the freshest possible produce to consumers. Our efforts to continually shorten the supply chain offers both better quality product for customers and removes unnecessary costs.

Quality Control

We work relentlessly to assess the quality of all of the produce we supply whether it be through temperature tracking from farm to depot or or optical graders which photograph the fruit 60+ times a second to check for imperfections.
