We've come a long way in the last three decades, and as we reflect on our 30 year journey in growing the berry world, we acknowledge the importance of meeting face to face with our partners across the berry world. Being part of FRUIT LOGISTICA over the years has been incredibly valuable for these meetings, and with that, we're bubbling with excitement to be back in Berlin for Fruit Logistica this year. As it's our 30th year we're sure we could list 30 good reasons to come by and visit us, but here are our top 3...👇 #fruitlogistica #growingtheberryworld

Countdown post ⏳ #15 days left !🌱 "The Carrot Fact You Didn’t See Coming" 🥕 Here’s a fun fact: carrots weren’t always orange. Originally, they came in shades of purple, yellow, and even white. The orange carrot we know today was cultivated by Dutch farmers in the 17th century as a tribute to the House of Orange—talk about a colourful history! But the story doesn’t end there. Just like how carrots evolved, our grocery shopping habits are changing too. At eZpZ, we’re all about creating a brighter, more sustainable future. By reducing the number of shopping trips you make, you’re not only saving time but also cutting down on carbon emissions, reducing traffic, and avoiding those long lines at the supermarket. Every time you choose to shop through eZpZ, you’re making a small but meaningful contribution to your community and the environment. You’re part of a movement towards smarter, greener shopping. So, the next time you crunch into a carrot, remember—you’re helping to grow a more sustainable world, one bite at a time. #eZeypeZey #CarrotFacts #Sustainability #CommunityConnection #LessEmissions #GroceryShopping #ComingSoon

From Scoops to Stores indeed 🍦🍌⭐️ NanaShake has come a long way since it first opened its doors back on March 14th 2016 as Toronto’s first ever vegan ice cream parlour. Many may not know this but NanaShake originally started out as a bricks-and-mortar ice cream store and only pivoted fully into a #cpg brand last year in January 2022. Please check out Tamara Al Dip’s post below and watch the video to get a glimpse of our extraordinary journey - one banana peel at a time 🍌🍦⭐️ #beyourownbanana #cpgbusiness

🤔"WHAT WE NEED NEW" 💚 I loved this new spot of Wallapop where it reflects on the following: "Who put it into our heads that everything has to be new in our life?. What we need NEW is the way of seeing things 👀" 🎥 Following a sequential history of life, Wallapop nicely explains how during our lives, we have used many things that weren't new: ✅️ We were born in a bed that someone had already used, in a room where other people had been born. ✅️ We were born with a name used by many others, with 2 surnames as well. ✅️ We go to schools which have been the schools of others. ✅️ We travel to places that have been visited by others, and live in houses that have been rented, again and again. ✅️ We visit hotels that have already hosted others. ✅️ We comb our hair with combs that others have used. ✅️ And we even eat with cutlery that has passed through the mouths of others. So then again, 🤔 who put it into our heads that everything has to be new?. What we need NEW is the way of seeing things 🤓. #sustainability #circularity #WhyNEWinsteadOfREUSED https://lnkd.in/d-MMXDwp

Friend: "Hey Paddy - I saw Lind & Lime on Sunday Brunch" Me: "No, you didn't, someone has knocked off our bottle." Friend: "But...I did, though I didn't know you did tequila." Me: "We don't, the bottle has been copied." Friend: "Surely nobody would do something so blatant?" Me: "I admire your faith in the integrity of the business community." Friend: "Presumably it must be a tiny company that's never seen you?" Me: "No, it was BrewDog. They're very aware of us." Friend: "This will get fixed by law and stuff, right?" Me: "I admire your faith in the administration of justice."

We see this with Aldi and Lidl, putting out cheaper products that look remarkably like the Waitrose or Tesco equivalent. This is seen as all is fair in love and war, and a bit of a joke. However, when the big companies do it to the little ones they are putting livelihoods in danger. Brewdog are using their position in the market to knock off niche products. Hopefully, it will backfire on them. Also, #SundayBrunch on #Channel4 need to be aware that they are (inadvertently?) promoting knock-off products. They would never promote knock-off #Gucci or #Armani, would they?

Always good to find a career that aligns with the values you were raised with.
