fresh-range is a food tech and logistics company based in the West of England. We've been developing short, fast, light supply chains as an alternative to the mass food supply system since 2013. Our multi-channel approach to food supply is reinventing the way cooks at home, in private kitchens and in the public sector think about sourcing food.
Core to the approach is our proprietary technology behind the platform and stores. The tech's seamless link to our chilled fleet of vehicles enables fulfilment with full provenance transparency on the supply chain from the producer to the customer. Our online stores with supporting digital fulfilment platform enable food producers of any size (independent micro businesses right up to large multinational suppliers) to access new customer markets.
By enabling our clients to procure and source food directly from sustainable producers, informed decisions on the sustainability of produce can be made at kitchen level. Short supply chain efficiencies means no need for days or weeks of haulage and storage and savings for the client. Most of the food is baked, caught, cooked, cut, laid, picked or produced just before being delivered to the customer kitchen. Better tasting food, richer nutritional value.
In 2016, fresh-range was recognised as finalists in the BBC Food & Farming Awards, best Local Food Retailer and Greatest Contribution to Local Food with the Western Daily Press Food & Farming Awards and Best Technology Company with the Bristol Life Awards. In 2018, we won the Revolutionary Tech award from Crumbs Magazine.
Thousands of people eat food supplied by fresh-range every week. In addition to retail home delivery customers, we partner with government, local authorities, schools, universities and museums to bring short food supply chains to life for the benefit of all in the chain: Buyers, producers, biodiversity & planet Earth.
