We're a proud Goldilocks Company

There are lots of ways to describe your business, but for me Breckland Orchard is a Goldilocks company ….not too big, not too small….we are just right. The perfect size [with scope to grow of course!]

We are small enough to be hands on, accountable. Small enough to know all our customers, respond personally, to know the business inside out and treat others like we would like to be treated. Large enough to get some economies of scale and to be able to supply all over the UK. Large enough to be competitively priced against our [much much] bigger competitors.

I think when businesses get too big they turn into super-tankers – very inflexible and remote. When you are teeny-tiny it can be difficult to navigate a path. Big companies can mean additional layers of decision making which don’t always make sense and can make them difficult to work with. I make a point of seeking out suppliers who are family owned....as dealing with bigger companies can make me tear my hair out at times[!].

I think our core mission of making great tasting drinks which aren’t available in the supermarkets has kept us grounded since I started the business 11 years ago. We’ve kept true to our values and I love it when someone calls wanting to know if they can speak to someone in ‘accounts payable’ or ‘the currency department’. It’s way more personal than that! A real person at the end of the phone everytime who will know exactly how to help you.

So that's what we are! .... a small business…..we are agile and with passion for what we do. A GOLDILOCKS BUSINESS…..and I am super-proud to be at the helm!

Cheers!
