Fresh International started with us receiving ‘wish you were here’ postcards; chefs abroad were struggling with a lack of service and focus on fresh produce and these were the guys serving some of the most distinguished brands and in turn, customers.
So instead of writing back with our news (‘much rain here but we’re keeping our spirits up’), we packed our bags and jumped on a flight to check it out. Fresh International now serves some great names with an array of products from all over the world (fruit and veg doesn’t grow well in the desert you see), giving Dubai more breadth of variety for different applications. The beauty of it is diners out there are mad for British produce so it’s an ideal arena to showcase some of our wares, using our facilities in Paris’ Rungis Market as a half-way collection point.
