Paul is now embarking on the process to convert his business into an Employee-Owned Trust to ensure its sustainability for the future.

She accepted a ‘temporary role’ in 2016 to use her skills to create a quality management system to ensure compliance with our regulatory bodies and to ensure positive audit outcomes. Jules now takes more of a back seat role but continues to support James and Nicoleta with compliance and auditing as well as H.R management.

Our Testimonials
Hear what others say about us..
The technical knowledge and operational competency of Paul, Nico, James and the team at Mole End Farms are second to none and gives us complete trust and reassurance that our supply is consistent and that the fruit is of the best quality every time. Their commitment to quality and innovation makes them an invaluable partner to Riverford and ensures we deliver the best product to our customers.
We really value our relationship with Mole End. We go back a long way, and that’s a testament to the quality of their product and professionalism. Paul really knows his apples (and pears!) and we make sure to squeeze him for knowledge as much as possible. It’s really reassuring working with a long-standing supplier like Mole End because you can guarantee you’re getting great quality, and I’m always confident they’re putting our planet first.
‘We have been working with Paul and the team at Mole End for nearly 25 years. The quality of the fruit that they supply is impossible to fault and this is backed up with great service too. A visit to their orchards in Kent is always very popular with our customers. On top of this they grow the best tasting apples you will ever find’
