Our friendly and knowledgeable sales staff have more than 350 years combined experience in the meat industry, mostly in the wholesale section. We have no less than 5 previous managers of wholesale meat companies working for us therefore our working knowledge of the wholesale meat trade is second to none.

Greg joined RP Meats in January 2016 having
spent 12 years working in biomedical engineering. Although relatively new to the butchery industry, Greg worked many school holidays with his father, Steve, at RP Meats. This started aged 2 going to Smithfield Market and continued up until Greg left University. Greg graduated Swansea University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering.

I’m really excited to join the family business at this time
in my life. RP Meats has a very strong and loyal customer base and everything I’ve done so far in my career has
been customer orientated so I’m sure I can learn a few things along the way and hopefully add a bit from my previous experience.
