About GMN

GMN was incorporated in 1985 by Glenn Norton. Glenn, well known for his salesmanship, quality products and good work ethics built GMN into a successful business.

His now wife Penny Norton started Vegie Prepi in July 1994. Penny was working in the industry as a catering and purchasing manager at a leading hospital, when she noticed a huge gap in the industry for processed fruit and vegetables.

Penny who is a chef, came to the conclusion while trying to source good quality processed fruit and vegetables that the quality and service left a lot to be desired, Penny saw an opportunity for quality processed fruit and vegetables had arisen and hence the birth of Vegie Prepi – The ULTIMATE in Fresh and Processed Fruit and Vegetables.

The difference between Vegie Prepi and other processing plants is the majority of all fruit and vegetables are hand cut by chef for chefs.

Six years later along came Sue, Penny’s sister and together they purchased GMN Wholesale, whereby Penny and Sue merged GMN Wholesale and Vegie Prepi together and became partners.

Penny and Glenn have since married, and now the business runs very much as a family concern. The company is called Jake’s Trading Corporation, which is named after Penny’s and Glenn’s son Jake. The company trades as GMN/Vegie Prepi.
Penny and Sue have been running the company since February 2001 and the customers range from Government Contracts, to Hospitals, Nursing homes, Restaurants through to country orders and export.

Standardised Recipes for rotating Menu cycle are a large part of the business, this leaves nothing to chance and food costs are stable and accurate. Should you like to know more about our standardised recipe programme please click here.

The staff are all highly trained and are very professional, our logistics manager and quality control manager Barry has over 20 years experience in fruit and vegetables. Due to GMN/Vegie Prepi not being too big, any size order is available and ALL clients are treated with the respect they deserve. You can order by the pallet, the carton, the kg or even by the piece, catering for every need.

Saving money for the customer is a high priority for Penny and Sue, at the time of ordering should you happen to order an item which is expensive, you will be notified, and where possible a substitute item suggested.
