Redditch, UK: Oakland International and Acorn Trade Partners (ATP) are collaborating with Grubby, a UK-based producer of plant-based recipe kits, to help the company further expand its business. The partnership has already been working successfully for a year.
ATP, which is part of the Oakland International Group, works with new and developing brands to reach the UK and Irish retail food service, sourcing speciality fresh and frozen products from Europe, the UK and Ireland.
Director Peter Turone said: “ATP’s collaboration with Oakland International has been a real success, delivering a wide variety of the premium fresh produce needed for Grubby’s food boxes, and is the result of teamwork, dedication, and a shared passion and vision to deliver excellence.”
“Farming, often passed down through the generations, comes with its own set of unique challenges, from Brexit to Covid-19, to increasingly unpredictable weather, yet despite these hurdles our growers remain resilient, producing exceptional crops that help us deliver quality time and time again for our customers. Here’s to many more years of ATP and Oakland International collaboration delivering incredible fresh produce to Grubby’s customers!”
Martin Holden-White, founder and chief executive of Grubby, said: “A huge thanks to Oakland International, whose relentless effort in refining packing operations has allowed us to deliver well over 100,000 boxes and approximately 500,000 meals. Their consistent ‘can-do’ attitude has allowed us to expand recipe choices and add additional delivery days. It’s great to work with a team that thrives on challenges and continues to raise the bar.
“Additionally, a special thanks to Peter and the ATP team for their role in building strong supplier relationships, adapting to new challenges, and ensuring that top-quality produce arrives in every Grubby box week after week. This commitment to quality and innovation is helping Grubby gear up for the busy seasons ahead, with exciting supplier partnerships in the making.”
