About Blue Skies Holdings Ltd.
Blue Skies is a fresh fruit cutting business with production facilities in Ghana, Egypt, South Africa and Brazil. The company specialise in producing high quality, just harvested, freshly prepared fruit products and flying them to the European market.

We believe in providing only the freshest pure fruit products and then delivering them to the consumer as quickly as possible. We add nothing to our fruit. No chemicals, no additives, no artificial flavourings. Nothing.

We employ over 2000 people in Ghana, Egypt, South Africa and Brazil and supply to a variety of customers including some of the biggest supermarket chains in the UK, Europe and South Africa. At each facility we apply a culture which we have developed carefully. It is based on fairness in business, respect for each other and above all, trust. By nurturing this culture and forging global partnerships Blue Skies is recognised as an ethical model for development to governments all over the world.

We are honoured to have been awarded a Queens Award for Enterprise in the Sustainable Development category in 2008. UK International Development Minister, Gareth Thomas, commented on our achievement during a visit to our factory in Ghana. He said:

This award is proof that developing countries can export a product and take care of the environment at the same time. The UK imports over 2000 tonnes of prepared pineapple from Ghana every year contributing £2.6 million to the local economy through wages alone. This helps farmers and their families live a better life.
