The Howie family has a long and cherished association with quality meat. Earlier generations farmed in Perthshire, in the heart of rural Scotland, its hills and glens renowned for the breeding and rearing of the finest beef and lamb. It was logical for a family so steeped in the best traditions of quality Scotch beef to move into the business of wholesaling, not only of beef but a range of other fine Scottish meats, and from there into retailing.

 

Simon Howie began his first butchery business from the Perthshire village of Dunning, where it quickly established an outstanding reputation for supplying meat to restaurants and hotels. A state of the art factory was built to keep up with demand from which it continues to supply butchery and chef prepared products to chefs, restaurants and many of the UK's leading supermarkets. Although Simon Howie Butchers is now a much bigger operation, traditional craft skills are still practised, quite literally taking the concept of a local butcher into the supermarket arena.
