Blakemore Fresh Foods achieves record annual sales


Blakemore Fresh Foods, the fresh meat wholesale and import division of AF Blakemore, is celebrating record sales of £42.8m for the 2015/16 financial year, up from last year's £38.9m.

The company has now expanded beyond the £3.5m facility in South Staffordshire, to four regional trading offices in London, Cardiff, Nottingham and Bristol.

Blakemore has seen a growth of lamb and mutton sales across the business, with further sales attributed to the slicing, dicing and other value added products.

The firm's most recent expansion across the West Country has already proven a major success and contributed to the overall sales boost.

Blakemore has invested in four new vehicles in anticipation of another successful year for 2016/17, which will increase the company’s distribution payload by 16 tonnes.
