NEW VANS

GROWING FLEET

The three types of Peugeot vans in our fleet sporting livery with our new branding.

NEW IMAGE

• WITH THE ARRIVAL of Autumn over the past few days, we’ve seen cold mornings and dark, dark evenings returning to Goudhurst. Trade has held up reasonably well as chefs have moved on to richer, heavier menus and our retail customers have brought out more of the seasonal goodies that herald winter. On the farm here, the apples and pears have all been picked and many tucked away in coldstores for sale in the New Year and the fields and orchards are beginning to thin out.

The first batch of new vans have been signwritten and we’re very happy with the new livery that shows our new and clearer branding. As a family business, the word branding was always something we smiled at but since Alex, who’s also producing this newsletter, joined us in the summer we’ve seen things looking much simpler and cleaner. Lots of positive comments from customers and enquiries from prospective new customers who’ve noticed us now.

The new Cold Store 1 is fully functional and many customers will already have spoken to Cameron, who is working with Howie on our specialist and fresh produce side. Great feedback from customers to what the guys are doing and more to come over the coming weeks. New and returning products are also catching the eye here at Goudhurst, both for chefs and for retailers. The Pastry Room range detailed on page 2 is brilliant and we’re also really happy to see the seasonal return of the ever popular Vacherin

Mont d’Or; the one we shared in the office for lunch on Wednesday lasted less than a minute! More products from our friends at Orexis, brilliant goat’s cheese from Gloucestershire and a little reminder on the back page that we hold lots of chefs’ sundries in stock for next day delivery.

As we begin the build up towards Christmas, the first deliveries of puddings are due in next week from Cole’s in Saffron Walden and our warehouse teams begin to reorganise spaces to accommodate more seasonal lines. We hope that as things pick up pace the next few weeks are successful for you all. Here’s hoping for a busy (and snow free) Christmas.
