GB Fruit Company (Global Berry)
- 7% IRR
- 8 years
In the UK we import over 80% of our fruit — particularly outside the traditional UK growing season. This investment helped Global Berry fund the development of 3.6 hectares of new glasshouses at Nocton, Lincolnshire. They will focus their strawberry production outside the traditional UK growing season, meaning their fruit will be offsetting imported strawberries and giving consumers the choice to buy British for more of the year.
