Fresh Obsession 2.93

Shane Skewes, Director and founder of Fresh Obsession, started in the industry over 30 years ago, working in a fruit market in Coffs Harbour. He soon realised that it wasn’t just a job, it was becoming an Obsession. After working his way up the chain to manager, Shane had the opportunity to move from store to field. He took on a small commercial hydroponics operation south of Coffs harbour. There he began learning what it takes to produce quality Fruit and Veg, from paddock to plate. Over the next few years, while talking to other growers and retailers alike, Shane soon had a very good understanding of the industry from growing, to marketing, to retailing. Shane moved on to take on a management position with Woolworths, working from Tweed Heads to the Gold Coast. After 10 years at Woolworths he decided to move on. In 2004 Shane moved to Darwin and realised there was a lack of fresh fruit and veg available to the general public. This brought about the retail business commonly known around Darwin, as the Big White Truck, selling fruit, veg and seafood. After 6 years, he started taking on wholesale customers, and soon realised the business was growing to fast. Something had to give. As a result the retail took a back seat for a couple of years. The theory was, volume equals buying power, which equates to better quality and cheaper prices. Which brings us to October 2015, Shane and his wife Tina, and the Fresh Obsession team, are now in a position to bring the freshest Fruit and Veg, not only to the hospitality industry, but also direct to your door. Be it the workplace or your home, we will now deliver straight to you, at more than competitive prices. We hope you enjoy!!!
