Local fine food distributor Cress Co named finalist in Farm Retail Association’s Associate Member of the Year Award

22nd November 2024

Cress Co, a Dunfermline based fine food distributor with depots nationwide is honoured to be named a finalist for the Farm Retail Association’s prestigious Associate Member of the Year Award.

The Farm Retail Association connects and supports British farms in diversifying their businesses through farm shops, farm cafés, farmers' markets, and PYO enterprises. Its awards celebrate the highest standards across these enterprises and the businesses that support and supply them throughout the country.

As the UK’s largest distributor of ambient and chilled retail fine foods, Cress Co supplies a large range of British farms, farm shops, garden centres, delis, and food outlets. With depots across the UK, including a dedicated fleet of dual-temperature vehicles, they’ve worked hard to build a reputation for reliability and service.

Joe Wall, founder and Managing Director of Cress Co, expresses his gratitude: “To be recognised by farm retailers as a key part of the farm-to-fork journey is an achievement we value immensely. We’re fortunate to work with exceptional products from British farms, and it’s a privilege to bring the best of British produce to the public.”

Cress Co is also proud to sponsor the Small Farm Shop of the Year award and congratulates the three finalists - Ardross Farm Shop in Fife, Castle Farm Shop in Kent, and Fordhall Farm Shop in Shropshire - who have been recognised as leaders in their field.

We look forward to the awards ceremony on Wednesday, 12th March, when the winners will be announced!
