The European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development:
Europe investing in rural areas
Freeman Catering Butchers
This funding has allowed us to improve upon our traceability, provenance controls, and factory management systems. Machinery has been upgraded within the factory increasing productivity. Burger and Sausage manufacturing lines have been purchased which in turn have created jobs within our local area and allowed us to become more wholesale and retail-focused.
It is partly funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development.
