3 labels for a sustainable planet
We work exclusively with growers who can account for the sustainability of their product from ‘farm to fork’. More than 30% of our fruit carries the Planet proof label, which means it is even better for the planet. We source our bananas from sustainably managed plantations only.
Locally grown
We set the highest standards for our fruit. We look for variety. Keep it seasonal. And where possible, buy directly from the source. We don’t buy fruit that’s been flown in. Instead, we source fruits that grow locally from local growers who practice ecological farming and deliver fresh produce. This way, we protect the planet and provide fair prices for our growers, and you feel good as you bite into that crunchy apple.

Our mission
We sink our teeth into waste by delivering fresh fruit to businesses in a sustainable and efficient way, and by making a big difference in both health and environmental protection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Whilst the fruit may be a little cheaper, we can almost certainly guarantee that it won’t be of the same quality as ours. Our fruit goes through numerous quality control checks both in the buying and packing stages. With lesser quality fruit you’ll probably end up throwing some of it out.
Add to this your own time in choosing the fruit, the delivery cost (or back pain!) of getting the fruit back to the office, and the time it takes to place the fruit in appropriate reciprocals (and then wash the reciprocals) in your office, and you will quickly see how using an all-inclusive service like ours is the most cost-effective long-term solution for your office.
Your business should focus on what it does best, and leave less important things like fruit (at least to you) – to us!
Our fruit buying team hand-select our fresh fruit from the fruit markets before the break of dawn every morning. We carefully select our fruit mix to ensure it is of premium quality, has great taste and is at the “breaking point of ripeness”.
At the Fruitful Packhouse, we prepare the fruit to make it convenient for the workplace e.g. we separate the bananas and grapes into individual portions. This prevents the hoarding of fruit by certain more eager employees! All the fruit is checked for quality issues before being included in the baskets or boxes. We also de-sticker the fruit – this may seem like a small feature of our service, but it allows our team to check the fruit quality again before being placed in the baskets or boxes.
In transit, our fruit is handled with the maximum care from the market to drop-off, so that it reaches you in perfect condition.
We do not want you to be tied into a service which does not suit you. For this reason, we have NO fixed contracts. Instead, we only ask you to agree to our simple terms and conditions which include the following clauses:
Should you ever wish to change your order, we only ask that you give us 48 hours notice. For example, you may wish to pause the orders on a certain day because your team is off on an “away day”. Because we invoice monthly at the beginning of each month, any order changes are either debited or credited on the following month’s invoice
Should you ever wish to stop your order altogether, we only ask that you continue your deliveries until the end of the month you are currently in (which is a maximum period of about 4 weeks at any one time)
No. We only supply “hand-held” fruit that can be easily eaten in your office. So for example, instead of oranges we supply soft citrus fruits such as clementines, satsumas and minneolas which are easier to peel and don’t drip.
Setting up an account and getting started could not be easier. You can either use our online ordering process (go to “order fruit now”), reach us through our “contact us” page, or simply call us on 088 – 06 40 100. Ordering fruit is not like buying stationary for your office: there are numerous options available to you in terms of order quantity, delivery days and order splits. So please get in touch with us if you would like to discuss your needs. We have helped thousands of clients to implement a successful office fruit delivery service.
No. Whilst most of our customers enjoy weekly deliveries, we can also provide our fruit on a bi-weekly or even monthly basis. We will be happy to make a recommendation to you that suits your budget. What we do require, however, is that it be a regular order over a determined period of time. The reason is because we believe that the full benefits of providing fruit in the office are only felt through more than just a “one-off” single delivery. Please call us to discuss your specific needs.
