In 2010, David oversaw the acquisition of Neame Lea, the UK’s leading grower and supplier of ornamental plants, bringing expertise in the cultivation of unique ornamental plants into the fold. Today, Neame Lea Fresh adds a new and exciting arm to the brand, producing potted herbs, cut herbs, microgreens and living salads for multiple retailers and food service customers.
Further expansion came in 2016, with investment into Zyon UK, meaning that the group could now offer specialist category management of horticultural ranges to the leading retailers in the UK. A milestone came in 2017, when Bridge Farm Nurseries, Neame Lea, Neame Lea Fresh and Zyon UK were brought together as Bridge Farm Group. The group runs as a well-oiled machine and oversees the journey of plants ‘from bulb to beautiful’.
