Before the juice
Blackcurrants are the life blood of our proud family heritage. The below photos are taken from 1973 and shows handpicked Blackcurrants being loaded onto a lorry, destined for Beecham Foods. Our founder, Edward Thompson, was instrumental to introducing mechanical harvesting of Blackcurrants in 1976 and this marked the end of hand picking as within the industry.
His forward thinking is also shown by the commissioning his own 'Pressoir', our purpose built juice factory in 2004, making him the only blackcurrant grower in Britain to be entirely vertically integrated and in control of every element of his production, from the soil to shelf, bush to bottle.
