Lee founded the business in 2012 from being a consultant in the meat sector, his previous career in estate agency means he is a tough negotiator and really works to keep our clients price points in mind. His expertise in the sector stretches to all manufacturing beef and lamb and most recently developing our pet food clientele since 2016.

MICHELLE DALZIEL

Operations Manager

Michelle joined us in 2021 after some convincing to leave her career in the Toy industry in the licensing team for 8 years. her role with us was a key step to have that solid backbone to allow Lee to focus on building a sales team. A quick learner and action taker no messing, and to top it off she’s a dog and cat lover … who knew you could love both?!

Hayley Covell

Purchasing (France)

Hayley is based in our office in Preston and started with us in 2020, our view was to establish some firm roots in the French market for us to develop new supply chains. Speaking fluent French always helps as Hayley spent most of her youth living in the South West region of France, we are very happy to have her on board. From a trial week to a permanent role it was a great string to add to our bow.

Sarah Rigg

Office Support

Sarah joined us in 2020 to do all the jobs in-between, and in a short period the office was running much smoother and no job left undone. Sarahs role is all from managing customer and supplier data, accounts support and planning our travel and trade shows. In addition Sarah works directly for Lee as a PA for his other businesses. Despite the latter role she really seems to enjoy working with us.
