the company

Grapes Direct Limited ( GDL ) is a
specialist grape supplier to the UK’s
leading supermarkets. The company
was formed in 1999 to meet the
requirement of the major supermarkets
to have a genuine expert in the supply
chain of table grapes.

In 2004, the company moved to its new
depot in Rochester, Kent which is widely
acknowledged to be the best facility in
Europe for the handling of table grapes.
