It's all apple and pears at the drpgroup, along with plums and damsons. The drpteam have been reaping the benefits of one of their ongoing CSR programmes, which includes looking after and restoring its five acre, ancient Worcestershire orchard acquired two years ago when it purchased the company's training and team building centre at the edge of the beautiful Wyre forest.

The site is a special site of scientific interest due to it providing habitat to a number of native species and was in need of restoring back to its former glory as a producer of many traditional English fruits. As part of the drpgroup's 30th anniversary in 2010, the team embarked on a huge restoration project at the site and planted 30 Cherry trees, as well as working to clear and replant the orchard. This year's harvest has not been a disappointment with an abundance of fruit from the established trees and huge progress towards returning the orchard back to its best.

The harvest from this year's fruiting season has not gone to waste as client's in both the Hartlebury Head office and the London office have been treated to the freshly grown produce, picked direct from the Greensleeves orchard.

"It's a great facility to have for the team. Our hospitality team has been producing mini apple pies for meetings, which the clients have loved. The next challenge is to see if we can make cider" Says Dale Parmenter MD.

The fruiting trees also benefit the company's team building division futureteams who occupy the Greensleeves site. A whole range of exciting team development exercises have been based around the fruiting trees taking full advantage of the restoration work the group has been doing.
