How it all started.
One day in his old office job, our MD was enjoying an apple delivered by the local deli. There and then, a simple thought occurred to him. Having fruit in work makes people feel good.
That’s what inspired Jamie Henderson to start-up Fruits in The City in 2010. From haggling at fruit markets, to making the deliveries, back then he did everything. That included educating the corporate world on what fruit can do for productivity in the workplace.
The early days also taught Jamie about the importance of making it personal. And that philosophy still rings true today. Customers always get to speak to a real person. And every order can be personalised to suit different tastes.
A friendly, down-to-earth bunch.
