The natural choice

Alfred G Pearce is a second generation family owned business, now run by brothers Simon and Jonathan Pearce. Established in 1959 to service the needs of the canning industry, the company has developed into a fully integrated operation involved in growing, processing and marketing vegetables for Food Manufacturers in the UK and through Europe, handling over 70,000 tonnes of products annually. 2700 acres are sourced and grown by Alfred G Pearce or by our Partnership Growers through the UK, Europe and New Zealand.

Medium Care Investment

January has seen the completion of a £900,000.00 investment, replacing all production lines in our medium care, and for the first time the inclusion of multihhead weighers. This has now enabled us to increase factory capacity by 30% through faster and more efficient lines. All equipment was supplied by Finus of Holland and the project managed by Projx Services.

Salute! Business Development

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Katy Negus as Business and Product Development Manager.
