BUSNIESS BOOST: At Global Berry A SOMERSET strawberry grower has purchased two plots of land totalling 34.5 acres after securing £5.5 million in funding. Global Berry, which produces strawberries for major supermarkets including Sainsbury’s, Aldi, Morrisons and M&S, has acquired land it has been renting for the past five years. The £6.5 million turnover business, based near Yeovil, decided to make an offer to its landlord for the two plots, which already house the glasshouses it uses for growing its strawberries, so that it could invest in the long-term future of the firm. Buying the land outright has enabled Global Berry to make major savings across the business, with its monthly loan repayments now 45 per cent less than it previously paid in rent.
