In 2019, our founder Will conceived of an idea. His vision was to transform the siloed fresh produce supply chain and digitally connect the B2B industry. He brought FruPro to life with co-founders Ollie (CEO) and Kov (CTO). With over 130 years of family heritage and 20 years of first hand experience in fresh produce, Will stands at the core of FruPro.
Ollie’s background in business transformation consulting ensured smooth operations at every step. Prior to FruPro, Ollie organised an annual charity event, providing 50,000 meals for the homeless and this dedication to reducing food insecurity remains a core tenet of FruPro. His family have a potato and arable farming background.
Kov’s experience in technological solutions for industry pioneers was crucial to the FruPro’s success. With an extensive professional portfolio, including Product Director in Advanced Analytics and AI Solutions at GSK, Kov has progressed the platform through its digital transformation.
Now, with the support of a wider international team, FruPro has become the essential platform for the fresh produce supply chain. Aiming to support the next five generations of fresh produce, FruPro connects, guides and optimises fresh produce business.
Our ambition is to minimize the waste and loss of fresh produce within the supply chain, while also working towards preventing CO2 emissions and minimizing hunger. We believe that by reducing waste, we can not only help the environment but also maximize revenue for all stakeholders in the supply chain.
Food waste is now a bigger contributor to climate change than plastic, with 1kg of food waste being sent to landfill equating to 25,000 plastic bottles in terms of carbon emissions.
We help all businesses in the fresh produce sector to optimise their operations, connect with new businesses and reduce their food waste levels in the process.
Between 6-8% of global greenhouse gas emissions occur as a result of wasted food. If food waste was a country, it would be the third-largest greenhouse gas emitter.
We give the option to easily donate surplus produce. Working closely with food bank and charities, we have a strong network to depend on and clear metrics to measure the outcomes.
Shockingly, 33% of all fruit and vegetables grown globally are wasted, while 7.3 million people lack sufficient access to affordable or nutritious food as of April 2022 in the UK alone.
In 2022, we have helped to redistribute almost 100,000 meals' worth of fresh produce to those who need it the most. We are continually improving our fight against food waste.
By actively working together with our partners, we are striving to create a more sustainable and equitable food system for everyone.
As climate change continues to have far-reaching effects on various industries, the fresh produce sector is not immune to its impacts. Among the countries renowned for their agricultural prowess, Spain stands out as a major player in the production and export of watermelon and melons.
The world’s finest suppliers of cut flowers, plants, fruits and vegetables to the UK wholesale market could win a coveted FPC Fresh Award.

Food shortages in the UK highlight issues in our supply chain. We explore Brexit, food poverty and interview two experts on the matter.
