Fresh Direct Local You won't find investor reports, ten different Boards or a lot of red tape at Fresh Direct. We're quite a big operation, but we're no corporate giant. That's because we've not forgotten our roots-in fact, we're pretty damn proud of them. The big cheese's father, John Harris, started the company selling fruit and vegetables from the back of a mobile Austin 3 van, in Bicester in 1966 – back in the days when he still had a crop of dark hair. In between that and John's hair turning a glimmering silver, Fresh Direct has morphed into one of the leading suppliers of fresh produce to the foodservice industry.
