BQP is a trading division of Pilgrims UK part of the world’s second largest food company. We are recognised as the UK’s leading outdoor pig producer, which has supplied high welfare outdoor bred British pork to the major retailers in the UK for over 40 years. Due to continued growth we are looking for more pig producers to join us.
We work in partnership with many hundreds of UK farmers who share our vision to achieve the highest standards on animal welfare, efficiency, and quality. Our own farming operation is RSPCA assured, making us the largest producer of higher welfare pork globally.
Our fully integrated supply chain starts with our nucleus breeding herd and goes all the way to some of the UK’s most modern meat processing plants, serving high end retailers of the UK market.
Our rich heritage is one built on unrivalled expertise in pig farming and processing crafts. Today we operate in multiple categories from snacking to fresh pork products. We continue to grow a sustainable business through strategic investment to deliver the quality and added value we know our consumers want.
At Pilgrim’s UK, safety is not just a priority but a condition, and we are committed to people, safety, sustainability, animal welfare and quality as the foundations of our forward-looking business.
Today, our 5,500 team members operate across 14 sites in the UK, including three abattoir/deboning sites and eight active processing sites. Many of those sites are centres of operational excellence, setting the bar for sustainable food production in areas such as bacon and sliced cooked meats.
