Isleham Fresh Produce (IFP) was formed in June 2000 through the merger of Isleham Carrot Growers and Russell Burgess (Vegetable Division): although the business can readily trace its history back more than 60 years through its growers and partners.
The merger of both thriving businesses created a pool of experts able to focus on R and D opportunities, and create considerable savings through economies of scale.
IFP specialises in the production and marketing of root vegetables, principally carrots and parsnips. We are also regarded as an industry leader in the supply of fresh bunched beetroot and carrots along with speciality varieties such as Chantenay, Mignon, Autumn King and Golden Beetroot.
We are delighted to announce that at the recent Sainsburys Brand Conference, held at their Holborn offices on 26th April 2010, Marshalls were presented with the award for Best Supplier Technical Service by Judith Batchelar, Director for Sainsburys Brand.
At the Food and Drink iNet Innovation Awards 2009, held in Leicester on Tuesday 17th November, the Food Processing Faraday Award for Most Innovative Large Food and Drink Manufacturer went to Marshalls (part of the Produce World Group), Butterwick, Boston, for the development of bellaverdeŽ sweet stem broccoli, that was launched in July 2009, and created in conjunction with Seminis.
