Visit to Kings Seeds:
We had a fantastic day on 8th July and felt privileged to be introduced to how the Kings business works. We left Bookham early and drove to Kelvedon, deep in the Essex countryside, where E W Kings is based. The surrounding area has been the centre of our seed industry for hundreds of years. We were met by Peter Miller, Senior Seedsman (and fellow allotmenteer) who walked us to the sweet pea fields, and within a few minutes he had us completely captivated.

The focus of Kings and the secret behind their enduring success has a lot to do with keeping abreast of what their customers want and positively responding to the need for change. They deliver a great service, through high standards in science, innovation, respect for tradition as well as investment in technology and the personal commitment of their staff. It seems that working for EW Kings can be family affair – with generation after generation working for the firm.
