New
Contract for Hereford & Stoke depots
Redbridge Produce & Flowers has been
awarded the contract to supply Shropshire County Council's
school and social care kitchens with fresh fruit and vegetables.
250 primary schools, secondary schools,
nursing homes and day centres in the Shropshire area will
receive regular delivery of fresh produce from Redbridge's
Stoke and Hereford branches. 3 extra staff at Stoke, and 2
extra staff at Hereford have been recruited to service this
new account, which sees the first produce delivered on 6 June
2005.
Deliveries to the schools and care centres
will be dovetailed with those to existing customers, ensuring
that Redbridge keeps its commitment to reduce carbon emissions
and the impact of heavy lorries on the local environment.
Richard Clements, Branch Manager at Redbridge
Produce & Flowers Hereford, said "I am looking
forward to working with Shropshire and Telford County Councils
to develop a wide range of healthy eating menus that appeal
to both children and adults."
