Lowrie Wholesale wins multi million foodservice contract

Lowries Wholesale - which has warehouses in Newcastle, Hexham and Penrith - has also pledged to source an increasing proportion of its meat from the region's farms.

"We are actively encouraging local producers to contact us," says Peter Lowrie, the firm's principal.

"We want to supply as much locally reared meat as we can within this contract."

The three-year deal covers all 204 Northumberland schools and social care establishments. As a result Lowries has invested £250,000 in new technology, transport and staff to ensure an efficient operation.

"All the investment we've made - and will continue to make - from this significant contract will, wherever possible, be returned to the North-East economy," added Lowrie.
