The Owton's team celebrate their success over the last year and

expansion into new horizons

 

6thJuly 2021, Southampton - After a turbulent year for businesses across the UK, Owton's Butchers have come out on top with a set of outstanding results for their business. The local Butcher has four physical locations as well as an online store selling fresh British meats and cheeses to loyal clients across Hampshire. The Owton family have been farming on Chalcroft Farm for over 750 years, with a continuing drive to deliver the best customer service, products, knowledge and advice.

 

Owton's hugely popular range has meant they are branching out into their fifth store over the summer. Owton's next venture will be opening at Rosebourne in Aldermaston, located on Basingstoke Road. Surrounded by a table service restaurant and food hall packed with local suppliers, this busy location will continue to push Owton's already thriving sales.

 

The wholesale and catering side of Owton's is prosperous, serving 1100 customers across a diverse range of foodservice sectors including Butchers Shops, Hospitals and a huge contract with the popular Fuller's Pub. Local residents relish the idea that they can enjoy their meal knowing that the meat came from an ethical source with an excellent reputation.

Owton's work with over 40 farmers within Hampshire and Dorset, as well as raising their own beef on Chalcroft Farm.
 

Following a massive £5.5 million investment the Owton's operation have moved into their new 2,000m2 (22,000 square feet) facility. The factory has been fitted with top of the range equipment including an efficient refrigeration plant and insulated buildings with solar panels. Owton's have focused heavily on the sustainability and environmental benefits when drawing up the plans for their new factory.
 

Unemployment throughout the pandemic has been a huge issue, and Owton's are tackling this with over 130 staff working in wholesale, catering, and the shops. Owton's offer delivery to Hampshire, the surrounding counties and London within the M25. Following the introduction of home delivery during Lockdown, Owton's have all added three new refrigerated vans to their impressive fleet.

 

"The team and I couldn't be more thrilled with the success of the business over the last few years', and we are all excited to see our new ventures in fruition. As a family owned and run company, our customers and clients are at the forefront of our operations and we continue to work with our core focus being quality meats and outstanding service." - Billy Owton.
