SAN DIEGO, CA, April 04, 2012 (Press-News.org) Since 1986, Barker Boy Fresh has provided quality pre-prepared produce to Australians across the nation from its "clean and green" location in the Adelaide Hills. Over the course of its 25 year history, the company has earned itself a stellar reputation within the food production industry for its quality assurance and personable customer service, helping it to become one of South Australia's largest processors of produce.
In the late 90s, Barker Boy built a new state of the art premises located in Mount Barker, South Australia and then a sister plant in the Cavan, South Australia area. It was around this time that the company's General Manager, Ken Borg, joined Barker Boy and helped shape it into the award-winning business that it is today.
Barker Boy's industry success is highly dependent on the skills of its workers, so the company goes to great lengths to provide employees with on-site, hands-on food handling training at its facilities. Currently, there are 50 employees working for the company.
In addition to top-notch customer service, Barker Boy has focused on providing quality fruits and vegetables to local government institutes, bakeries, pubs, hospitals, clubs and other hospitality facilities.
