WHO WE ARE

Nick O’Mahoney, Director

French Garden Direct/ Nick O’MahoneyQuite simply put fruit and vegetables run in Nick O’Mahoney’s blood. He left school at 16 and went to work for his dad who had two greengrocer’s shops, in Streatham and Mitcham.

When O’Mahoney Senior retired nineteen years later, Nick, a regular in New Covent Garden, joined market based fresh produce wholesaler, Turners, as a salesman and in 1997 took up a post at Poupart’s wholesale branch in Covent Garden.

In February 2003 he teamed up with Grenville Snowdon to found London Fresh, a wholesaler whose range would complement French Garden’s specialist produce.





Sean Hunt

French Garden Direct/ Sean HuntA family connection may have found Sean his first job in the market but it is hard work and dedication that has kept him there.

A move to wholesalers, C&C, after four years working in distribution for a company supplying hotels and restaurants, showcased Sean’s obvious potential, as he built displays on buyers’s walk, and French Garden founder, Grenville Snowdon, invited him to join the team.

Starting as a junior salesman in May 2001, Sean blossomed in his new role, quickly building links with some of the best fruit growers across the globe. When London Fresh opened in 2003 Sean was an obvious choice for the new line-up.





Terry Brock

French Garden Direct/ Terry BrockIn 1973 Terry started at Vitacress in The Borough Market, which was in those days still an outlet for wholesale traders.

The job enabled him to forge strong relationships with many of the UK’s leading salad growers so when he moved to Philips, a Covent Garden wholesaler, in 1980, he was the obvious choice to run their salad section.

In 1991 Terry took his contacts and experience and joined Bill Lodge and when the company was bought out by London Fresh in 2008 Terry and his unequalled collection of growers became an invaluable member of the team.
