About Richards LTD
In the 1930’s, Dennis Richards was an Apple Grower in the village of Little Blakenham. He sold his produce locally and in the London Markets.
His son Hugh joined the firm in 1964 and eventually went to London with the Apples. He started coming back with Fruit and Vegetables to sell to his local customers. He ended up coming back with more then he took.
Hugh took over the business when his father retired. After a while he moved premises to Burstall. In 2002 he re-located to Witnesham and a modern purpose built warehouse.
His Son Steve and Daughter Sue now run the Day to Day management of purchase and distribution using Imported and local produce such as Local Milk, Bread, Eggs, Oil, Herbs and Fruit and Vegetables. As well as produce from around the world.
Steve takes care of the purchasing and selling side of the business, while Sue predominately takes care of the accounts and Telesales.
The Business is open throughout the night, where Russell, the Night Manager takes care of Logistics and Quality Control.
