They are committed to limiting the negative environmental impact of the business and to this end use predominantly biological methods for crop protection against pest and disease, rather than conventional methods. They have also effected a 20% reduction in gas use to heat our crops through a state of the art computer controlled system. Double H are in the process of a ‘Lean Transformation’ within the horticultural industry. Changing the thought process from “we work with dirt, so it will be dirty”, to a culture of continuous and sustained improvement, and a sense of pride in the workplace.
