About Us

Sharrocks Fresh Produce is a leading UK fresh fruit and vegetable distributor, established for over 100 years. We are a trusted family business that has become a recognised leader in both produce quality and customer service. Our mission is to continue building on that legacy, providing our customers with the quality, integrity and expertise that they have come to expect.

We operate from our 47,000 square foot warehouse at Red Scar Business Park, Preston, conveniently located close to junction 31a of the M6. We have extensive chilled facilities and a refrigerated fleet which ensures the delivery of produce to our customers in premium condition, a complete cool chain facility.

Sharrocks’ team of expert buyers and sales managers have a vast and varied knowledge of their specialist produce. They have built long-established relationships with local, national and worldwide growers giving them a great understanding of the industry and future market place. As direct importers we combine local and national sourcing of seasonal fruit and vegetables with a comprehensive global network of suppliers ensuring all-year-round continuity. We can always source quality produce at excellent prices, any time of the year and are committed to being fair and ethical.

We have a rich variety of customers including supermarkets, food service, convenience stores, farm shops, caterers, and independent grocers. We are passionate about produce and fully support their business developments, tailoring what we offer to their specific needs. We are not just a specialist wholesale and distributor of fresh fruits and vegetables throughout the United Kingdom and beyond, we also supply dairy and eggs as well as pre-packed and prepared fruit and vegetables, ideal for the convenience store and caterer.

We get involved with every aspect of the food chain, from seed planting to produce transportation and delivery, buying direct from the producer ensuring superb quality and full traceability.

We pride ourselves in fully supporting the local farming economy wherever possible both minimising food-mile costs and maximising freshness. Also as an environmentally aware company, we recycle and use reusable crates wherever possible.

Our produce undergoes a strict quality control procedure before leaving the premises, we adhere to stringent food safety standards and are fully BRC accredited.
