“ We ’ ve teamed up with a company called Greenly , which comes in every year to measure our environmental impact and help us reduce it year on year . We have been carbon neutral for three to four years now . We have offset some emissions to achieve this and are actively working towards being organically carbon neutral . Every year , we manage to significantly reduce our impact ; even as we grow , our overall impact continues to decrease . This has been a major focus for us for over ten years , and we ’ ve won the Green Wholesaler of the Year award every year since our buying group began .
“ It is something that is not only important to me but also as I consider my three children , who have recently joined the company , it ’ s important to ensure there is a good future for them , as well as for our employees and customers . One of our largest and longeststanding customers , for example , has
mentioned that one of his main reasons for staying with us is our attitude toward the environment . It is also something that is becoming increasingly important to many more people . This is especially true within the food industry , which is so inextricably tied to the land and the environment .”
Looking ahead , Darren shares his hopes for the company ’ s future : “ Our ambition is to eventually become a nationwide operation . We have recently opened a new distribution hub in Birmingham , and we are actively in talks to access the Scottish market . Looking further afield , my focus over the next five years will be to position the business , with the help of my children , to ensure it remains as strong and healthy as it is now without my day-to-day involvement .” ■
