Testimonials
Dole UK joined FNET to seek out and explore the opportunities to network with likeminded businesses. The FNET membership allows us to openly discuss salient risks within our supply chain without judgement, provide practical solutions to shared challenges and allow us to exchange our collective intelligence with external stakeholders such as NGOs, industry bodies and Government.
