Our business:
Tom Hixson founded the company over 40 years ago. He was the son of a Walworth butcher and came from a family who had been involved in the meat trade for generations. Having started in 1935, his 70 years’ work in the business ensured this tradition continues to this day.
In the early days, he fondly remembered the market as a ‘wonderland’ of produce, he discussed how meats from around the world arrived by horse and cart then later by rail. In 1963 he founded Tom Hixson of Smithfield and by 1983 he was head of the Smithfield Tenancy Association as well as the Botswana Meat Federation. He had become a pioneer of the meat industry. His expertise was well known and the British Library organised an interview with him to find out the secrets to his success.
The honesty, passion and drive shown by Tom has filtered through to the third generation and those involved today. The wealth of expertise and experience gathered over the years means we deliver unrivalled quality and service.
