Agriculture and horticulture have always faced fluctuating
conditions and prosperity and the industry is once again
experiencing a period of significant change. After several decades
where food security has been low on government agendas and
householders have enjoyed high quality food at relatively cheap
prices, the current situation has seen the unit price of staple
foodstuffs like bread, milk, eggs, vegetables and meat increase
significantly.
At Hutchinsons, long term commitment to customers and staff
continues to ensure that the business will be able to successfully
meet the needs and improve profitabilty of farmers and growers
in the future.
Hutchinsons recognises that the people working within the
business are the essential ingredient in maintaining and enhancing
the quality of service offered to their customers. This philosophy,
allied to technological advances and continuity of management has
proved to be a key strength.
Hutchinsons employs over 250 staff, of which more than half are
directly involved with customer service and agronomic
relationships. Behind the front-line agronomists are an efficient
and dedicated team of stores personnel, delivery drivers and office
staff who provide high quality customer support and service.
