July certainly kept us busy! 👏
From exciting milestones to customer visits and a few behind-the-scenes moments, here's a look back at what got up to last month...
⚽ The World Cup kept us on our toes!
It was fantastic to see so many customers making the most of the tournament with BBQ counters packed full of burgers, sausages, kebabs and match-day favourites.
📦 More room to grow.
Our new warehouse unit is now officially open, giving us the extra space we need to continue growing and serving our customers.
🤝 A proud milestone for IFI.
We were delighted to become Corporate Members of the Worshipful Company of Butchers, joining an organisation that shares our passion for championing the trade and its future.
👏 Congratulations, Chantelle!
A huge congratulations to Chantelle on being shortlisted in the Women in Meat Industry Awards 2026 – a well-deserved recognition of everything she does for IFI and the wider industry.
🤝 Welcoming Harry & Niall.
It was a pleasure to welcome Harry, one of our AVO and Butchers' Collective Brand Ambassadors, and Niall from Millets Farm to IFI this month. After a product demonstration at our offices, we spent the next day visiting local shops together – a brilliant opportunity to share ideas and catch up with customers.
🚗 Out on the road.
July was packed with customer visits, product demonstrations and time spent with butchers across the UK. We also enjoyed a day around the Wirral visiting Jayne's customers, sharing ideas and seeing first-hand what's happening on the shop floor.
💚 A family business.
With the summer holidays underway, we welcomed a very enthusiastic little helper into the office this month! Being a family business has always been at the heart of IFI, so it was lovely to see another generation getting a glimpse of life at IFI. 😊
🎥 Something exciting is coming...
We've been out filming members of The Butchers' Collective for an exciting new campaign, and we can't wait to share more with you soon. If you'd like to be part of it, drop us a message!
🎄 Planning ahead.
While everyone else is enjoying summer, Peter and James have been busy developing ideas for our next Flavour Atlas launch and Christmas range. Watch this space!
📈 Looking ahead.
We rounded off the month with our Q3 Sales Meeting, planning for another busy few months and plenty of exciting projects still to come.
🏆 Supporting British butchery.
We're proud to be sponsoring the BBQ Product category at this year's National Craft Butchers Product Awards, and can't wait to see the fantastic products entered.
Thanks to all of our customers, suppliers and the whole IFI team for another brilliant month. 💚
