We have been cutting and packing just-harvested fruit and delivering it to Europe since 1998. We have grown through our ongoing commitment to delivering consistent, very high quality prepared fruit products and through our loyalty to our customers and suppliers.
We believe in providing only the freshest pure fruit products and then delivering them to the consumer as quickly as possible. We add nothing to our fruit. No chemicals, no additives, no artificial flavourings. Nothing.
We employ over 2000 people in Ghana, Egypt, South Africa and Brazil and supply to a variety of customers including some of the biggest supermarket chains in the UK, Europe and South Africa. At each facility we apply a culture which we have developed carefully. It is based on fairness in business, respect for each other and above all, trust. By nurturing this culture and forging global partnerships Blue Skies has become an ethical model for development to governments all over the world
In 2008 we are honoured to have been awarded a Queens Award for Enterprise in the Sustainable Development category. UK International Development Minister, Gareth Thomas, commented on this wonderful achievement during a visit to our factory in Ghana. He said:
"This award is proof that developing countries can export a product and take care of the environment at the same time. The UK imports over 2000 tonnes of prepared pineapple from Ghana every year contributing £2.6 million to the local economy through wages alone. This helps farmers and their families live a better life."
