Default Tomatoes (yet again) - cropping

There was a program (Channel 4 I think) a few weeks back about
commercial growing in the Channel Islands, and about a couple of firms
which had been growing tomatoes for decades.
One was finally closing up shop, the other was still going strong.

The one still going strong was getting some fantastic yields - IIRC up
from 4Kg per plant to 40Kg per plant.

Do you happen to know the name of the growers, because I might be able
to find out what variety they grow. Only might, mind you! Was it in
Guernsey?
