Lockwoods (Liverpool) Ltd

Lockwoods Butchers Ltd started trading around the middle of the 1940's, when meat was still on ration, opening a series of butcher's shops, in and around the Liverpool area.

In the early 1950's we purchased a small factory in the Broadgreen area of Liverpool. We soon started production of our own brand of pork and beef sausages. After a short while we also produced a range of cooked meats, however, the premises at Broadgreen became too small.

Around 1957 we moved to larger premises in Boaler Street, Liverpool and soon we had our own salesmen delivering in Liverpool and the surrounding areas. The brand name 'Olympia' came from the Olympic Cinema that once stood in Boaler street.

Once again production grew and we moved to an ex Walls ice cream depot in Melrose Road, Kirkdale. The trade in sausages was now at a tremendous height.

In February 1960, the company name was changed to Lockwoods (Liverpool) Limited. At this time the premises in Melrose Road Liverpool were fast becoming unsuitable, once again there was a need for new premises. The company then decided to change the sales force to franchised agents, as exists today.

In September 1964 the company moved into purpose built new premises in Bridle Way, Bootle and has remained there to this day. The present factory has been continually updated and carries a full E.C license. The company has over thirty van salesmen agents delivering in an area stretching across the North, Midlands and North Wales. Currently we produce a wide range of fresh and frozen sausages, cooked meat products and baked pies.

We look forward to the challenges of the next 50 years, with our products based as they always have been, on traditional quality meats and recipes, using the best that modern technology and standards can bring to them.
