See what our happy fruit customers have got to say:

GHD
“When we decided to provide  fruit for our staff I was anxious about finding a company who would not only guarantee the quality of the fruit delivered but who would also be easy to communicate  with, ensure no fuss service and preferably be a West Australian company.  To our delight Fruit Boost met, and continues to meet, all these requirements with the added bonus of their charity support .”
Sue Waddell
Office Services Manager

INPEX Browse, Ltd.
“Since we have been receiving the Fruit from Fruit Boost, it has been received extremely positively. You have to be very quick around Inpex if you want to get your favourite piece of fruit as once it appears on the tray in the kitchen it is gone very quickly. The variety of fruit is also a big plus, with apples, pears, bananas and mandarins all being popular but the stone fruits are a great addition with the plums probably being the favourite amongst the staff with peaches not that far behind in popularity. I think it is great that Fruit Boost send out pamphlets to explain if a piece of fruit is not available at a certain time and the reasons for it not being available which I think is very professional.
All in all a great company to deal with.”
