Parliamentary visit for Nine Elms traders

The Parliamentary Fruit Group visited New Covent Garden Market last week, to see first hand the quality of produce at Nine Elms and discuss with traders issues relating to the sending of English produce to the Market.

The focus on the catering trade at NCGM was reportedly of great interest to the Group as this sector is growing faster than the retail sector.
