Edward Vinson have been growing fruit in the South East of England for over 150 years, focusing on breeding and selling premium varieties of plants and berries.
The Challenge
EV wanted to improve the management of labour throughout the fruit growing enterprise with a series of defined workstreams and workshops.
Key Issues Identified

- Current management teams' governance, processes and capability level required assessment
- Fruit growing production process needed review from start to finish
Our Approach
