Ripe 4 Offices - Fruit For Offices - Seasonal Update

Tue, 04 Dec 2007 19:11:44 +0100

SEASONAL UPDATE

FREE FRUIT BASKET OFFER
If you introduce a new customer to us - we will deliver to your office a free fruit basket worth £25.

CHRISTMAS TREES
We are now selling Christmas Trees. We provide a full service package which includes delivering the trees, setting them up and then removing them in the New Year. This service costs between £30 and £150 depending on the size of the tree - please call us for further details.

DELUXE OFFICE FRUIT BOXES
As we enter December, we will be welcoming the Southern Hemisphere stone fruits including Peaches, Nectarines, Plums, Apricots, Nectacots, Cherries and Lychees. To guarantee the quality and shelf life of the fruit, they are all air-freighted into the country which unfortunately makes them comparatively expensive. All of these fruits will be available in the deluxe selections and where possible we will try to include some in the basic boxes.

BASIC BOXES
· All of the apples will remain crisp and juicy for the next two or three months.
· The Williams pears will be replaced with either Comice or Conference pears sourced from Mr. Colin Piper - an expert in pear and cherry growing.
· Clementines and Satsumas will still be available and good for the next couple of months. These will ultimately be replaced by Affours from South Africa which are slightly firmer skinned but equally delicious.

GENERAL OFFICE FRUIT DELIVERIES INFORMATION
Please don’t forget that your orders can contain precisely what you want and we can mix and match deluxe packages with basic packages to give you your ideal selection. Please feel free to call us to vary your order as often as you like.

Regarding Christmas Deliveries: we assume that you will not be requiring fruit on Monday 23 Dec. We would be grateful if you could please confirm this and also inform us when you would like your first delivery of the New Year.

3. Ripe is able to supply fruit for all photography required for related articles.

4. Numerous studies and campaigns including the government's '5 A DAY' campaign provide clear evidence that fruit not only has a positive impact on general health but also contains potassium, folate, fibre and antioxidants which help to guard against heart disease, strokes and cancer. Recent data suggests that only 13 per cent of men and 15 per cent of women eat at least five servings of fruit and vegetables each day.

PRESS RELEASE – OFFICE FRUIT SERVICE LAUNCHED

Tue, 25 Sep 2007 22:31:33 +0200

25 September 2007

For immediate release

Ripe 4 Offices was launched today to deliver fresh fruit to every London office.

Ripe was conceived to combat the problems caused by today’s long-hours working culture and to ensure that the health and well-being of workers is at the forefront of every employer’s mind. Providing fresh fruit in offices increases company productivity and ensures that staff are healthy, energetic and motivated.

However, for partner John Batey, the main aim of Ripe is to excite people about fruit by providing offices with varied and interesting fruit: “I want people to be excited by fruit so I send them dragonfruit, paraguayos and mangosteen. If we can make fruit appealing, will 5 a day be enough?”
