Moorsfresh

Sector:  Food Producer
No.of Employees:  1-20
Region: Yorkshire and Humber 

Summary
Moorsfresh is taking on the vexing problem of how to efficiently distribute local produce from small producers. By promoting the use of local produce, Moorsfresh not only provides fresh and healthy produce to its community, it also reduces the negative affects of transporting food products long distances.

Background
Moorsfresh supplies home grown food from meat producers and cheese makers across Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire to quality hotels, restaurants and retail outlets. The business was founded after Nigel Brotherton, the joint managing director of operations, was challenged by the North Yorkshire Moors Parks Authority to resolve the issue of local produce distribution

What impact it has

"The community involvement is wholly dedicated to propagating local food and helping to stimulate the local economy. We are not only promoting the excellent food culture that exists in Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire, but are also reducing road miles and fuel use." Nigel Brotherton, joint managing director operations
