The colour of a mango fruit is never an indicator of being ripe. Even a green mango can be ripe.

Eating two kiwifruits an hour before bedtime will help you fall asleep quicker. Sleep more soundly and feel better tested when you wake up in the morning.

WE DELIVER RESULTS

Kiwifruits can be used as natural meat tenderizers owing to the presence of an enzyme that can break down protein.

OUR HISTORY:

Ripe Now Ltd was formed in 2006 by Julian Wright and Lewey Hook - the commercial and technical minds of the business. Neil Gott then swiftly joined as the operations missing link, with an extensive experience within the fresh produce industry. The first pallets ever packed at Ripe Now Ltd were by the hands of Julian, Lewey and Neil.

Today the company has over 110 full time employees, (many of them have been there from the very beginning!) and up to 70 seasonal employees. The company operates from three sites - Coates (near Peterborough), Kirton and Boston. Across these three sites we have cool storage space of over 1,000 pallets and ripening space for over 1,800 pallets.

The biggest advantage of Ripe Now is the team. Every department of the company contains people with years of experience and a real passion for their job. Ripe Now is not just a company, it’s a family.

We pride ourselves in the close relationships we have with customers and suppliers alike. For the fruits we import directly, we have worked for years, with growers around the world - to create a seamless supply calendar of, for example smooth fleshed mango arrivals, 52 weeks of the year!

OUR PROJECTS:

MAKING

A CHANGE

When eating a fruit think of a person who planted the tree

Our aim is to get the best quality products possible, all year around. To do that Ripe Now has looked further into, and integrated itself in the supply chain.

Ripe Now is working very closely with APEXKO SARL - an exporter in Ivory Coast. It doesn’t only insure a fixed supply of mango fruit during one of the most difficult periods of the year, it improves the local community too. Around 4,200 people in Ivory Coast are involved in APEXKO’s exporting activity.

In 2016 Ripe Now planted its first mango trees in Peru. This way we can monitor and improve the fruit quality from the very beginning. The land features a high technology irrigation system and will be ready to harvest in 2021!
