Spring Gully wins Dick Smith Contract
ADELAIDE'S Spring Gully Foods will supply Dick Smith Foods with a range of jams and honeys for national distribution through Woolworths and IGA stores, reducing imported products. Spring Gully brand coordinator Australia Russell Webb said he is hoping consumers will buy the new range of jams and honeys it is making for Dick Smith Foods for the sake of its employees and suppliers. "It will give us the opportunity to grow and employ more people and it's a great opportunity to produce these great Australian products and secure a lot of new business and help our suppliers," Mr Webb said. "We've invested in a new warehouse especially for this project and we've been doing all the research and development here in our lab to come up with products that we think are the best available." The new range has been released in 800 Woolworths stores around Australia and will also be in IGA and Foodland and other independent supermarkets around the country. Dick Smith Foods owner Dick Smith said that it was fighting back against imported food with the new range of eight jams and honeys and it was up to consumers to buy Australian products if they wanted a strong food industry. Mr Smith said the main problem is Australians often buy the cheapest product without worrying where it comes from. "Australia's best-selling premium jam comes from France with more than four million jars of St Dalfour fruit spread brought here every year, yet Australian farmers are ploughing their crops back into the ground," he said. The new products available in raspberry, orange marmalade, strawberry, apricot and sweet fig flavours contain no added cane sugar and are sweetened only with Australian fruit juice. "It seems most companies are too ashamed to put on their label where their food comes from. Not us. We are proud to tell you the farm where our fruit was grown and the factory where our products were made," Mr Smith said. "It's such a wonderful opportunity for us to manufacture these new products for Dick Smith," Spring Gully chairman Eric Webb said. "Projects like this will keep manufacturing alive in Australia, and help our family business grow well into the future." Mr Smith said Woolworths was very concerned that if prices just keep going down, Australia will have no farmers left. "We are a net importer of fruit and vegetables and I think Woollies and most Australians are very concerned about that," he said.
