Company Background

We are a modern family run business with over 40+ years of experience growing, packing, processing onions. We have been farming locally since 1946 and have a strong UK geographical spread throughout Lincolnshire and Norfolk with approx. 2,000 acres of land between 39 growers producing over 10,000t of onions. In 1979, we launched a packing operation to broaden our offering and support our retail partners while improving our capacity and efficiency. In addition, in the mid 80's we expanded our supply base by importing globally from 8 countries.

The Oldershaw Group is committed to ensuring that everything we do meets our own, legal & customer requirements for the provision of safe, authentic products of high quality. Furthermore, the business is committed to a vision, a mission, and values for all employees to help drive cultural change and builds on the original values of our founder, Gilbert Oldershaw.
