Owen Taylor & Sons Named Best Wholesale & Catering Butchery Business at British Butchery Awards 2025

We are incredibly proud to share that Owen Taylor & Sons have been awarded the Best Wholesale & Catering Butchery Business award at this year’s National Craft Butchers, British Butchery Awards.

The awards ceremony took place on Monday 30th June at the Nottingham Belfry, where businesses from up and down the country gathered for a prestigious black-tie event hosted by renowned chef Phil Vickery MBE. These awards celebrate and shine a spotlight upon those who demonstrate exceptional skill, craftsmanship and innovation within the British butchery industry.

What this award means to us

We have proudly served the East Midlands with top-quality meats since 1922 and as a family-owned business with over a century of expertise, winning this award is more than just recognition. Still, it truly is a testament to the hard work and dedication of every member of our team!

Being recognised amongst the best in Britain is a real honour and a proud reminder of what we stand for as we ensure to deliver award-winning quality, from farm to plate.

“It’s a proud moment to win at these inaugural awards that were created by butchers for butchers, and I congratulate all the fi nalists and winning retail shops” – Richard Taylor, Managing Director
