Tangmere Airfield Nurseries TM A GXS Case Study Tangmere Airfield Nurseries Corporate Profile A Leading European Pepper Grower Tangmere Airfield Nurseries Ltd is a leading European pepper grower, based near the market town of Chichester in West Sussex, England, with further large areas of glass in both Somerset in the UK and Spain. The company is based on the famous and historic Battle of Britain airfield, which was originally the home of RAF Tangmere. That airfield closed in the late 1970s and the site gradually fell into decline until 1989, when Dirk Houweling established Tangmere Airfield Nurseries Ltd with the purchase of the land. Business Challenge Keeping Pace with a Rapidly Growing Business Tangmere is now the leading grower and supplier of peppers to UK supermarkets. Its goal was to strengthen and consolidate this status and, where possible, expand the number of supermarket groups the company does business with. The company has invested heavily in technological resource. For example, deploying the most advanced glasshouse facilities, the company grows its peppers at locations in the UK and Spain. These days, consumers expect to be able to walk into a store and purchase peppers at any time of year, no matter what the season. The onus is on the supermarkets to accommodate this need, and of course on a supplier such as Tang- mere to organise its systems and processes so that it can keep up with demand. In recent years, Tangmere has put in place a highly sophisticated and efficient Eu- ropean supply chain operation that allows the UK’s supermarkets, including Asda, Morrison’s, Sainsbury, Tesco and Waitrose, to meet demand and receive a continuous supply of sweet peppers all year round. From a B2B trading perspective, Tangmere wanted an electronic trading platform that would allow the company to optimise and streamline the efficiency of its busi- ness with existing major UK supermarket customers. An additional requirement was to be able quickly and seamlessly to add new UK supermarkets to the trading com- munity and start transacting with them. The Solution Trading with More and More Supermarket Chains Tangmere has adopted GXS Trading Grid® as its standard platform for B2B e-com- merce. GXS Trading Grid is helping Tangmere keep pace with the B2B requirements of a rapidly growing business that is continuing to expand and trade electronically with more and more UK supermarket chains. 2 • Tangmere Airfield Nurseries A GXS Case Study Tangmere uses GXS Trading Grid to take in daily orders from these multiples and so plan the next-day delivery of peppers to warehouses throughout the UK. GXS Trading Grid is also used as the platform to send out weekly invoices to these customers. In addition, Tang- mere uses GXS Trading Grid to exchange additional kinds of messages that are specific to the requirements of a particular supermarket chain—for example, to exchange price files with Sainsbury and EPODs (Electronic Proof of Delivery) with Tesco. GXS Trading Grid helps to shield Tangmere from the complexity entailed in rapidly changing standards, eliminating manual and duplicative processes and enabling the highest EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST AND AFRICA HEADQUARTERS levels of B2B collaboration. UNITED KINGDOM GXS Limited 18 Station Road The Results Sunbury-on-Thames Middlesex TW16 6SU Automating the Order Process with Major Customers England Tangmere says the most important benefit that the company derives from GXS Trading +44 (0)1932 776047 t +44 (0)1932 776216 f Grid is to automate the order process with major customers. www.gxs.eu North AMERICA AND Stuart Millington at Tangmere Nurseries reports that, “GXS Trading Grid makes it much Global Headquarters easier for us to receive orders from the likes of Asda, Tesco, Waitrose and Sainsbury.

  • COVID-19 Response Chichester Update
    COVID-19 Response Chichester update 8 January 2021 COVID-19 vaccination programme in Chichester District The vaccination programme for the Chichester District has started and we want to provide you with an update on where we are up to and what is likely to happen over the coming weeks. We also have frequently asked questions available on the Sussex Health and Care Partnership website https://www.sussexhealthandcare.uk/keepsussexsafe/sussex-covid-19- vaccination-programme/faqs-about-the-covid-19-vaccine/ How is the vaccination programme being delivered? There are a number of ways in which the vaccination is being rolled out to our communities: A GP-led vaccination service is where most people living in the district will currently receive their vaccination. At the moment, each area has been allocated one site, but in the case of the district, there are four sites – which is great news for residents and means that the vaccination can be given to as many people as possible as quickly as possible. Hospital hubs – local hospitals across the country have begun giving the vaccine to people over 80 who are attending for a planned appointment and frontline health and care staff. St Richard’s Hospital began providing the vaccination in this way this week. Roving service - the vaccine will be taken into care homes and into people’s own homes if they cannot attend a vaccination site. This is being stepped up over the coming weeks as more supplies of the vaccines become available. Large vaccination centres – each county will have one large vaccination centre which will be able to give the vaccine to large numbers of people.

  • RAF Tangmere During Battle of Britain
    Wartime West Sussex 1939 – 1945 BATTLE OF BRITAIN RAF Tangmere during the Battle of Britain From Wartime Memories 1939-45, By the Residents of South Harting, East Harting, West Harting, and Nyewood (One Tree Books, 1995) RAF Tangmere in 1940, by Bill Smith The outbreak of war on September 3rd 1939 found me on solitary duty guarding a bomb dump in the middle of a field in Lincolnshire and that now historic air raid warning had just sounded! I had been a pre-war entrant in the halcyon days of the RAF, when only those of A1 fitness were accepted for flying training. The wearing of glasses was considered a bar to such duties. After initial training, I had been sent to Air Armament school at Manby to begin my course and in the interim was placed on general duties with the Territorial Army. By December 1939 I had qualified and was sent to 145 Fighter Squadron which was equipped with short nosed Blenheims. As the conduct of the war intensified, these aircraft were changed for the more heavily armed Hurricanes with four 303 Browning machine guns mounted on each wing. Thus equipped, we moved down to RAF Tangmere where the squadron was soon engaged in Hitler’s Blitzkreig giving combat over Selsey Bill. The station was over crowded and we were housed in bell tents erected between the barrack blocks. Each armourer was allocated his own aircraft, being responsible for the correct functioning of the machine guns. A close relationship between the pilot and the man responsible for the firing capabilities of the aircraft soon developed.
