Self Managed Learning Case Study

History- The history of Greenery goes back to year 1965 when Greenery UK was established. The company, then was known as Superior International Limited. A few years later it was acquired by the Dutch group Van Dijk.

In 1997, Superior was relocated in Tharpston, Northamptonshire to a new purpose built state of the art packing facility. In this facility a number of loose products were imported in bulk and then packed before they reached the customers.

Next year, in 1998 the Dutch company Van Dijk group was bought by the Greenery International. At the same time another Dutch company Waling Van Geest and Disselkoen merged into Greenery UK.

By 2001, the company started trading with the name of Greenery Superior and went on to acquire new businesses.

From its new place, the company has been managing since then. The company imports ready packed produce to supermarkets and stores and also offers a sales and marketing office.

In 2009, the Greenery UK joined British Tomato Growers Association in an attempt to highlight its commitment to UK growers.
