The vehicle fleet consists of a purpose built, multi drop refrigerated vehicles of varying weights to suit the customer requirements, from 2 ton though to 26 ton, however the majority of the deliveries will be made using our recently renewed fleet of 3.5 ton vehicles such as Mercedes Sprinters and Ford Transits each one boasting high Co2 controls resulting in as low emissions as is possible. We are constantly monitoring developments in the electric vehicle sector so that we may incorporate electric vehicles into our fleet. At this moment in time, technology in this space has not developed significantly enough to allow us to use electric vehicles, but we remain hopeful that this technology will become available soon enough. The storage temperature of the vans are constantly monitored and temperatures recorded twice a day as per the general rules concerning the carriage of chilled foodstuffs, contained in EU Regulation 852/2004 and supplemented by the Food Hygiene Regulations. The vehicle fridges are calibrated annually.

Where possible we reduce our food miles by back hauling produce on our transport when passing through various growers in our distribution area of Hampshire, Dorset, Sussex, Surrey and Wiltshire. Journey times and distances are kept to a minimum by careful route planning and the vehicle fleet is constantly tracked by satellite navigation to minimise fuel costs thus reducing food miles and used as a management tool to review deliveries. Vehicles are regularly maintained and subject to daily safety and hygiene checks.
