Chairman
Eurostock Food Group is a privately owned business, based in GB and Northern Ireland, consisting of two processing sites.
Eurostock Foods NI produces a wide range of multi-species primal and value added meat products.
Eurostock Foods Hindley is a leading producer of IQF minced meats and sous-vide style cooked meat products.
Both sites process beef, lamb, pork and poultry.
From both manufacturing sites we supply the leading names in the retail, food service and manufacturing sectors.
A strategy of continual investment in people, product development and processing facilities means Eurostock Foods is recognised as a market leading primal and value added meat supplier in the UK.

In 1992 a new retail packing plant is built at the site in Newry and opens in March of this year to cater for the growing demand for processed offal products in the French market.
By the end of 1992 Eurostock becomes the leading supplier by volume of frozen beef and veal offal to the French market.
1996: Queen's Award for Export and BSE Crisis
Eurostock wins the Queen's Award for Export, in honour of its continued success in supplying to the French retail sector. Eurostock is the first Northern Irish meat processor to receive the award.
