Fairfax Meadow
Exceptionally Fine Butchers
Manufacturing around 42 million portion-controlled products and handling a total of 39,000 tonnes of meat a year, Fairfax Meadow Limited is one of the most respected catering butchers in the UK and, having introduced new standards of innovation and product specification to the market, is recognised as a company that refuses to compromise on quality.
Indeed, in an industry that demands product excellence and the highest standards of service, Fairfax Meadow offers the capacity, expertise and vision to meet the needs of the most discerning clients.
Supplying the finest products also means employing skilled staff and investing in only the very best equipment. A good case-in-point is the APC Slicer purchased from AEW THURNE. The decision to buy this particular slicer was taken after much research and consultation and the substantial increase in sales of gammon steaks at Fairfax Meadow.
So, in a fiercely competitive market, why did Fairfax Meadow choose the APC Slicer? The answers are deceptively simple. The product finish and appearance is paramount to Fairfax Meadow's customers and the APC Slicer has allowed the company to maintain the high standards expected - every single time. The daily throughput is between 9,000-12,000 steaks per day, with portion sizes ranging from 4oz to 12oz, although predominantly 6oz and 8oz. It therefore follows that the slicer utilised in any operation has to be reliable and this is another primary reason why the company invested in the APC Slicer. In addition, with customer orders being turned around at a maximum of 24 hours from receipt of order, the APC Slicer helps Fairfax Meadow to respond effectively to the adjustment of increased volumes.
Products are supplied to the catering industry in the form of D-Cut and Horseshoe gammon steaks and the APC Slicer assists Fairfax Meadow in remaining both competitive and quality-driven.
Fairfax Meadow's market expertise delivers many benefits for its customers and extends throughout every layer of the company. Traditional butchery skills, a specialised procurement service and a fully equipped technical laboratory are just three of the many areas where the company is at the cutting edge of the industry. As a reflection of its high standing Fairfax Meadow is also proud to be the current holder of two Royal Warrants.
It should go without saying then, that Fairfax Meadow's commitment to quality is total. Moreover, it is company policy to deal only with those companies who share this ideal, hence the growing relationship with AEW THURNE. For aside from the extremely successful purchase of the APC Slicer, Fairfax Meadow has acquired 12 AEW THURNE 400 bandsaws, which have also proved to be unbeatable when it comes to quality, reliability and value-for-money.
Investment in the best equipment and machinery allows Fairfax Meadow to meet the needs of the most discerning client. And in AEW THURNE they have found a company that believes in the same principles of excellence.
