A rich tradition, a confident future
Established in 2004, in north west Manchester AB&S Wholesale Meats & Poultry started with 2 men and a borrowed truck.
With a passion for service and a commitment to the customer to deliver the right product at the right price. The business has established a first-class reputation for supplying meat to precise specifications. The company continues to build on that rich tradition and heritage, we now have a loyal and experienced workforce of over 65 staff, operating from 3 units with a fleet of 8 bespoke vehicles.
We now operate to Quality standard BRC AA Grade which we are very proud of.

Broader range of products
Initially the company’s product range was based on beef, lamb and pork. Over the years, our ambitions have led us into new product areas; firstly with poultry, then the launch of a gammon range 10 years ago and more recently the investment in a new mince and dice operation.

Our future
To continue with the passion of providing the best products, at the right prices to meet our customer’s needs. Whilst investing in our people and factories to continue the success story.
