Fresh Produce Open Day 5th June 2023


Celebrating all things Fresh Produce

We recently held our first Fresh Produce Open Day, and it was a pleasure to see many people who showed their support and interest in learning more about our new warehouse and the innovative technology that ensures freshness and superior quality for our produce, as well as meeting with our trusted and local suppliers and conversing with the team. 


 

We celebrated the opening of our new 11,315 sqft fresh produce warehouse in Uxbridge, located just a couple doors down from our other unit. The event offered our customers a meaningful and immersive experience and showcased the new technologies and features that help us maintain the maximum quality and freshness of our produce and chilled goods. We have installed evaporative coolers that optimize the air moisture and temperature of the warehouse, using less energy while keeping the freshness and premium quality of our produce consistent throughout. Our customers also had the opportunity to meet some of our local suppliers who shared their passion for delivering the finest ingredients and provided samples of their products, much to their delight!

 

Throughout the day, we held exclusive tours of our new warehouse and current warehouse, highlighting our new chocolate room. Our guests had the opportunity to explore our expanded fresh produce range, marvelling at the vibrant colours of the varieties of fruits and vegetables on display with curiosity and excitement. They also gained insight into our operations in an engaging, educating, and informing way, thanks to our amazing experienced team members who guided the guests around both facilities. Additionally, our guests enjoyed indulging in samples from Callebaut's gorgeous luxury chocolate range along the way! We are committed to sourcing the finest produce to provide our customers with the best possible ingredients to use in their culinary ventures.

 

We are grateful to have had the pleasure of welcoming some of our local and trusted suppliers who shared their passions for ethically sourcing top-quality ingredients and educating visitors about where their fruits and vegetables come from and sharing samples of their delicious, nutritional, and locally sourced produce, some of which hadn't been tried before, making it an inspiring experience. As more and more consumers are striving towards a healthier way of living and reducing their carbon footprint, here at Woods, we take pride in knowing that we actively participate in this ever-growing community of like-minded people. Buying from local suppliers helps to create stronger relationships between consumers within the community, and we are thrilled to extend our shared enthusiasm to groups and individuals within the hospitality industry who share the same values and morals.

A big thank you to the suppliers who made it a success; Nurtured in Norfolk, Granny Gothards Ice Cream, Blackdown Growers, Squish, Fresh 4 U Produce, Halls Avocados, and Callebaut. We look forward to creating more events like this in the future and are buzzing with excitement for what's to come ahead. We extend a huge thank you to Brucan Pubs for setting up and blazing an amazing BBQ, serving up Grilled Goat Chops, Satay Chicken thigh lollipops with generous sides of salad from our fresh produce range such as the Jersey Mids potatoes, Heritage Tomatoes, courgettes, spring beans, and wild garlic! All bursting with superior flavours. We appreciate the feedback received as it only goes to show th­e importance of working together towards a healthier, sustainable future, and satisfied appetites!
