START NOW. GET PERFECT LATER. 🚀

In 2020, I started selling fruit and veg to raise money for Keech Hospice. I never imagined it would turn into a business.

Last year, I decided to take on a triathlon. Slight problem… I couldn't swim properly, and I spent more time falling off my bike than riding it! 😂

Fast-forward to July, and I'd completed my first Half Ironman.

Neither of those things would have happened if I'd waited until I felt ready.

One thing I've learned is that you don't need to be brilliant at something to begin. You begin so that one day you might become brilliant at it.

🍎 It's not really about the apple.

One of the biggest lessons I've learned running The Fruit and Veg Man is that trying to be the cheapest is a race you probably don't want to win.

Someone can always undercut you.

But great service? That's much harder to copy.

Turn up. Answer the phone. Sort problems out. Look after people.

Compete on service, not price.

😂 This is exactly the sort of high-brow educational content you can expect from your local the fruit & veg man.

Come for the fresh produce. Stay for the terrible vegetable jokes.

UK air traffic control has gone down again.

Thousands of passengers delayed.

Flights cancelled.

Absolute chaos.

Meanwhile Andy, Damien, Rick and Sanjay left for the market at 4am and somehow everyone’s bananas still turned up.

Just saying. 🍌

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨

After 6 years in business, tens of thousands of happy customers, two Luton Business of the Year awards, thousands of deliveries, market stalls, office fruit boxes, a Dobbies store, a Frosts store, and enough bananas to build a small yellow mountain…

We have finally received our first ever non-5-star Google review. 🎉🍌

Sadly, it wasn’t from an actual customer.

Instead, it appears a mysterious individual called “Dan Brown” emerged from the shadows of the internet to write what can only be described as a work of fiction. Coincidentally, this also appears to be the first and only review on their account. What are the chances? 🤔

The review claimed we buy all our produce from Asda. Which is news to us, our suppliers, our staff, and the thousands of customers who have watched us unloading produce from wholesale markets at silly o’clock in the morning for the last 6 years.

To be honest, we’re not even mad.

If anything, we’re quite proud. Every established business gets its first questionable 1-star review eventually. It feels a bit like a rite of passage.

The good news is that genuine customers continue to support us every day, and we’re incredibly grateful for every one of our hundreds of real reviews and loyal customers.

So thank you, Dan. You’ve given us a good laugh, some social media content, and a reminder that if this is the worst thing that happens this week, we’re doing alright.

Peace and bananas 🍌
