Our agricultural heritage stretches back to 1943 and defines our dedication to providing the highest standards of animal husbandry, welfare and bio-security which ensures that our poultry is of the highest standard from day one. Supplying around 25% of the total Western European chicken parent market. We are the UK's largest producer of organic and free range chicken.
A pioneer of breeding and farming standards in the development of higher welfare chicken, our agriculture focus helps ensure a strong and sustainable supply of fresh, high quality and locally farmed poultry. We have developed award winning training and development programmes across our agricultural business, encouraging a wide range of people to develop a successful career in farming.
Livestock System
We are the only UK & European poultry company with a totally integrated livestock system encompassing 3 generations of livestock - grandparents and parents (used for breeding) and broilers (used for meat production).
We are also an approved supplier of Aviagen (previously Ross Breeder) breeding stock, the global market leader in poultry genetics and pedigree lines for the production of commercial broilers.
Disease control and bio-security are a vital part of our livestock production. Our poultry farms boast some of the highest control measures to be found throughout Europe.
Responsible Farming
Working with over 800 poultry farmers in the UK, local farming remains at our heart. We provide our farmers with the security they need to invest in sustainable farming methods.
