Inside our shop
We are a local high street shop in Debden, Essex with a wonderful loyal customer base. We are always looking to offer a wide range of fruit & vegetables as well as herbs and spices to suit the changing cooking habits of our customers. This includes us always looking for unusual and exotic fruit.
'The long working hours have paid off and we have now built up an extensive customer base both with the companies we deliver to and the customers that come into the shop.'
our staff
We have always employed local people who are known in the community and over the years have built up great relationships with our customers, we even have a customer birthday list!
Toni
has worked alongside me for the past 14 years. She has been a vital person, involved in the development in our wholesale side of the business as well as looking after customer accounts.
​
Jake
started as a shy young lad, but has now grown into a fine honorable chap, nothing is ever too much trouble as he loves working the long hours and is always keen to learn!
Pauline & Lynn
are the Sparks double act - they are in the shop on Thursday and Fridays, taking customer orders & packing orders for delivery the next day. They are both long term family friends who add a bit of sparkle to Sparks greengrocers!
Lilly
works full time in the city, yet still loves to help her dad in the shop which means so much to me
Alan & Amelia
brings something quite unique to Sparks customers. After Alan having been established in Manford Way, Chigwell for 40 years in A&C Fruiterers we feel its an honour to have him as a close friend and onboard the Sparks team.
