As part of an initiative to help create enthusiasm and healthy eating, St Joseph’s School in Christchurch, Bournemouth, came up with the Funky Food and Healthy Eating campaign and asked Coastline Produce to get involved.
The schoolchildren visited the industrial estate to see the workings of the logistics companies on the site as part of the programme.
Coastline Produce’s Craig Russell and operations director John Sutton each took turns to show groups of 30 children around during a week earlier this month.
Coastline could easily be described as a gateway as produce arrives in the UK and is quickly packed, stored, chilled and cared for before being repacked and distributed to nearly 1,000 customers all over the south of England.
One group of children toured the dry foods and foodservice warehouses with Sutton and the other visited the fresh fruit and vegetable area with Russell.
Feedback from the event was very positive, with the children particularly positive about the scale of their operations, the exotic nature of the produce and the number of forklift trucks in sight.
