We're Twenty!

Southover started up in 1989, founded by Steve Pearce, a butcher by trade and the company’s managing director, and his wife Liz, the company’s financial director.  It’s been a long road well travelled since then and the company has moved from strength to strength.

The company’s first products were hand made hams, which have since gone on to win numerous awards and they are still the company’s flagship products, leading a range of over 2000 speciality food products supplied to catering outlets of all types and sizes across the country.

2009 sees the company enter its twentieth year and there are quite a few events already planned to make the most of this success.  Southover’s meat production, for example, has recently undergone a major rejuvenation in the wake of increasing demand for Southover Cooked Meats award winning products.  This massive revamp has involved a complete refit of the production facilities and an expansion into a new unit so Southover is understandably proud of such a big step forward.

With a bit of luck this year will see the official re-launch of these facilities as part of the twentieth anniversary celebrations so watch this space.  In keeping with the spirit of rejuvenation Southover has also re-branded itself with a new logo, catalogues, packaging, labels and, as you can see, website.

New products will be promoted as well, such as the Grange Gammons, produced specifically to deliver a machine slicing friendly ham that doesn’t compromise on quality yet delivers a credit crunch friendly price.

There’s plenty more planned for 2009 and this is just a taster, but if you want to know more or just like keeping up to speed with what’s going on then check back here for updates or give us a call.
