Building on the strategy adopted
Under Steven Martina's leadership, the management team will enthusiastically continue to pursue the course adopted by The Greenery, which aims at cost-price leadership and collaboration with retail partners in the chain. The Greenery is committed to sustainable and intensive cooperation with growers. By supplying customers directly from the source, The Greenery ensures that they receive products that are as fresh and healthy as possible. The Greenery's mission is to add value to fruit and vegetables through continuous innovation and efficiency.
The reorganisation and restructuring have resulted in a significant reduction in overhead and supply chain costs. This is reflected in the operating profit, which shows a marked improvement. The results for 2015 will be published in the second quarter.
