UNITED KINGDOM.
RANDALL PARKER.
Randall parker Foods, have been awarded the Food from Britain Export Award.
The company is one of the most respected in the global meat industry, and very large players in the English meat trade for the last 55 years.
Graham Penny from Randall Parker, said " we are absolutely over the moon with the award particularly given the tough time the industry has faced in the last year".
Formerly W J Parker & Sons Leicester, Parkers had a chain of high class retail shops in the Leicester area, and an abattoir in Leicester cattle market.
Parkers buyers were well known for their love of top of the line Hereford cattle, that were wholesaled to multiple retail chains and supermarkets, in the fifties and sixties.
Willy Parker went on to found Randall’s and acquired the famous names of Weddel and Swift, who have depots throughout England under the Weddel-Swift banner.
The abattoirs in Wales and Hampshire, service the fresh meat export and domestic markets.
