History
Establishment
The company started in 1954 as a meat-processing business. A shop was opened in Aberdeen in the 1970s, and by the mid-1980s, the company had about twenty outlets. In the 1990s, it bought Capital Freezer Centres and Wallis Frozen Foods. In 2005, it had annual sales of just over £400 million, the highest of any private mid-market firm in Scotland in that year, and fourth-highest in the United Kingdom.
