Apple picking was in full swing when Greg visited Adrian Scripps Ltd – one of the UK’s largest fruit growers who are based in Five Oak Green. The harvest has been revolutionised by the use of state-of-the-art picking platforms which increases the speed of picking by around 25%.
Greg said:
“It was great to be given a tour by Adrian Scripps’ Managing Director, James Simpson, and to see the new picking platforms in action. They were really impressive to watch and it’s fascinating to see how food producers are investing in high-tech equipment and automation to future proof their businesses.”
