Evesham tomato growers R&L Holt have been named runners up in the World Tomato Inspiration Awards held at Fruit Logistica earlier this month.
The company, which operates three nurseries and has been growing tomatoes since the early 1980s, is run by Roly and Rick Holt who were shortlisted in the top ten in the field of Crop & Process technology. Entrants had to answer questions on stage in front of an audience and while Dutch growers Duijvestijn Tomaten won the main award for their work on geothermal energy, R&L Holt were named runners up.
