La industria agrícola corre por las venas de la familia Chambers, quien ha cultivado fruta de forma exitosa durante varias generaciones. Conocida como el “Jardín de Inglaterra”, la zona de Kent, cuenta con una mezcla de tiza, arena y arcilla, que junto con un clima más seco al que hay en el resto del Reino Unido, proporciona las condiciones óptimas para la horticultura, resultando en un patrimonio que se extiende por siglos.
Fundada en 1952
El negocio se estableció por WB Chambers en 1952. Tim Chambers propietario y actual director general, se ha hecho cargo del manejo de las huertas familiares desde 1990, enfocándose en la producción de bayas y cereza.
Our Heritage
Tim is also Chairman of The Rubus Breeding Consortium based at East Malling Research in Kent, a grower led consortium which seeks to produce new varieties of raspberries and blackberries which are not restricted by marketing agreements. The Consortium includes: Spanish fruit producer organisation, Onubafruit; Swiss garden plant suppliers, Lubera; UK fruit producer WB Chambers and East Malling Services (EMS), the commercial division of East Malling Research (a major UK organisation renowned for horticulture research and especially well known for its ground-breaking research on fruit crops). The Consortium focuses on evolving improved and brand-new varieties capable of delivering the desired quality / yield of crop balanced with commercial viability.
Salih also works closely with Chambers’ partner growers in Spain, Morocco and Mexico enabling the business to achieve its impressive scale of commercial fruit production.
