A Bedfordshire-based supplier has won a contract to supply fruit and vegetables to the Prime Minister’s official country residence, Chequers.

And, produce from AB Fruitswas even served to the Queen and Prince Philip when they dined at Chequers last month.

Bedford & Kempston MP, Richard Fuller, paid a visit to the firm and congratulated them. He told The Bedford Times & Citizen: “I am thrilled that a successful local business has won the contract to supply David Cameron’s official residence and that the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh enjoyed their produce too.

“When I visited AB Fruits, I was very impressed with the operation run by Antonio Bosco and his three sons.

“The quality of their produce is excellent and I am delighted that a thriving Bedford business has won such a prestigious contract.”

Mr Bosco told the newspaper: “We were over the moon to win the contract with Chequers and are very proud that that our local family-run company has the Prime Minister’s head chef as a customer.”
