Griffin & Brand is an independent company, fully owned by the Elliott family.
The company was established in 1967 by Tony Elliott, as an importer of fresh produce - at that time, mostly from the US. Over the years, the company expanded its trading to include a wide range of produce: strawberries, avocados, asparagus, papayas, kiwis, grapes, and stone fruit. It pioneered the introduction of "exotic" produce into the UK, being the first UK company to import iceberg lettuce, Texas ruby grapefruit, long-stem strawberries, and kiwi fruit into Europe.
Since 1996, Griffin & Brand has narrowed its produce portfolio to become a leading specialist supplier of table grapes to the
UK market place.
In 2007, the company consolidated its presence in Chile by setting up a packhouse in Rosario, Chile, as a further focus on the source packing of punneted grapes.
Our aim is to supply our customers consistently with the finest produce available. To achieve this we seek out and invest in the most forward-thinking, quality-driven growers; dedicated staff; and facilities that allow us to meet and improve on these demanding standards.
