How we work

How an enquiry in this area starts

The first three stages. The full six-stage process runs the same way whichever area you come in through.

The full process

  1. Enquiry

    You tell us what you need. A named contact picks it up and confirms whether this is supply we should be taking on.

    You give
    Your requirement, product, volume and delivery window
    You get
    Acknowledgement with a named contact, within one working day

  2. Consultation

    We work through product, grade, packing and timing — and say plainly what the season can and cannot support.

    You give
    Your specification, target volume and required dates
    You get
    An agreed written specification and a realistic supply window

  3. Quotation

    An itemised quotation against the agreed specification, with the volume, packing, delivery terms and validity stated in full.

    You give
    Confirmed specification and delivery requirement
    You get
    Written itemised quotation with terms and validity

Questions

Questions we get asked

How is quality agreed and checked?
Grade, size, condition and packing are written into a specification before an order is confirmed. Product is checked against it at intake and again before dispatch, and the specification travels with the consignment so both sides are judging the delivery against the same document.
What is your minimum order?
It depends on the product and the season, and we would rather discuss it than publish a figure that turns away a good customer. Trial consignments are welcome — we prefer a small first order to a large one placed on trust neither side has earned yet.
How quickly will I get a quotation?
Enquiries are acknowledged within one working day. A quotation follows once the specification and delivery window are agreed; if a season affects what we can commit to, we will say so at that point rather than after you have ordered.
Can you supply against our own specification?
Yes, and we prefer it. Send your specification, your packing format and your acceptance criteria, and we will confirm what we can meet before quoting — including anything we cannot.
