Working with the best customers and a professional, committed grower base requires meticulous attention to detail. This is realised through our experienced and knowledgeable Technical and Agronomy teams. Within the team we have over 100 years of combined Brassica experience. This, together with continuously improving quality management systems and relentless innovation in the field positions us as leaders within our industry.
We believe the secret to good quality green vegetables is sound agronomy, minimal handling and a fast and efficient post-harvest process. Therefore we remain at the forefront of development in each of these areas.
To ensure that the produce we supply is not only good quality but also safe, all of Marshalls packing premises are audited against the British Retail Consortium Global Standard for Food Safety on an annual basis to ensure compliance with the industry's most stringent standards of safety, legality and quality. Our growing operations in the UK and Spain are audited against GlobalGAP, Nurture and Field to Fork standards for good agricultural practice as well as being LEAF Marque accredited.
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.
