  • Ken Muir 1925-2011

    Hopefully appropriate to mark here the recent death of Ken Muir, aged 85, whose name to many will be synonymous with GYO fruit growing.... RIP.

      His name always makes me think of strawberries and strawberries make me smile. A lovely legacy - smiles!

              Ken Muir 1925-2011

              Hi All,

              Very sad to loose my Grandad Ken recently.

              I've edited together a short interview from BBC Radio Essex when he officially retired in 2001.

              Please give it a listen; I think it represents his attitude and friendlyness throughout his personal and business life over the years:

                  Thank you for posting this Rob. Your grandfather was a great inspiration to many of us. Please pass our condolences on to your family.
