The chairman of international farming and marketing business, G’s Fresh, will be guest speaker at an Ipswich Suffolk Business Club lunch at Milsoms Kesgrave Hall, Ipswich, on May 11.

The Ely-based group employs 7,000 people, half of which are seasonal, and has won several national industry awards.
Club chairman Clive Underdown said: “We very much look forward to welcoming John Shropshire OBE to hear his experiences of business growth and the kinds of technical and product innovation and environmental management which have made G’s Fresh a global success.”
“We welcome enquiries about membership of Ipswich Suffolk Business Club, which is made up of Suffolk’s business owners, leaders and key decision makers who share the common goal of promoting business growth, inward investment and new employment.”
