Coregeo founder Gordon Winterbottom died this week.
He became involved with the fresh produce industry in 1990 when he joined Saphir Fruit as MD. He was there for 10 years during which time he formed many long and lasting friendships.
In 1999 Winterbottom became involved with Pink Lady, forming Coregeo and working closely with Apple and Pear Australia.
A Coregeo spokesman said: “It was when Gordon was at Saphir that the very first Pink Lady apples came from Australia to England and much credit for its success in such a short timespan must go to him for the energy and effort he put in.”
