Sir; In your recent Northern Ireland supplement (The Grocer, May 6), the fresh produce feature mentioned Mourne Mushroom Marketing being set up three years ago with grant aid. This could not be further from the truth ­ the company was established in 1989 with no government assistance! Obviously, as a sound, long-established marketing organisation we do not wish to be portrayed as a new company. Mourne's success is a reflection of the achievement of Joseph Murphy, Connor MacNeice and the grower members of this producer organisation. They have built up a highly respected business, supplying many of the leading multiples and foodservice companies in Great Britain with quality mushrooms and excellent service.
