Foodnet Ltd is a
fast growing international food trading and production company based
in The Old Grammar School at 3/7 Market Square, Amersham, a property
bought and owned by the company's pension fund. It is interesting that
the offices form the old original grammar school of the town, and on
renovating the offices the original carvings of initials made by errant
schoolboys in the 1600's were found preserved in some of the woodwork
and stonework. These are exhibited within the offices and as the likes
of William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania went to school in the town,
generate much interest from trade visitors.
With over forty-five
years of experience in the food trade, Roddy Owen, heads up the company. The
rate of growth in turnover and profit has been spectacular but the group have
been delighted more than anything else in the loyalty, firm friendships and business
relationships they have managed to foster with leading manufacturers, clients
and suppliers around the world.
Foodnet has invested
in, and is profiting from, the new technology available to the food industry.
All over the world Foodnet studies satellite enhanced weather patterns, and
is ready at a moment's notice to ensure crop positions damage in one
hemisphere can be rapidly supplemented from the other. As a result of this,
Foodnet is fortunate to number amongst its clients, blue chip companies all
over the world but especially in the UK. We realise our clients cannot afford
to be without quality product and Foodnet has a reputation for delivering the
goods whatever the agricultural catastrophe. We like to be trusted and
thankfully enjoy a sound reputation.
All our supply
companies are fully audited on a regular basis and high calibre quality
control is a vital part of Foodnet portfolio. Extensive business is contracted
with vegetables, fruits, mushrooms and rice in IQF, aseptic, canned
dehydrated or chilled form, although the main concentration of the business
is IQF. We number among our clients, major ready meal and pizza manufactures,
baby food and the very best retail packers. We are proud to know they can
rely on Foodnet.
Trading throughout the
world, Foodnet embraces the historical art of the British merchant venturer,
trading products from Spain and Greece to the USA, from Central America to
mainland Europe, from Belorussia to the Americas. These are just a few of the
trade routes established by the company. As the juice business has developed
South America has become increasingly important to the company, together with
the Caribbean and China.
