About Meat Index

The UK and Irish meat industry is one of the largest food sectors in these islands, employing hundreds of thousands of people across thousands of businesses. Yet until now, there has been no comprehensive, searchable online directory covering the full supply chain.

Meat Index was created to fill that gap. We are building the most complete database of meat industry companies in the UK and Ireland — from abattoirs and processors through to packaging suppliers, recruitment agencies, and training providers.

Whether you are a buyer looking for a new supplier, a logistics company seeking new clients, or an equipment manufacturer wanting to reach the right audience — Meat Index puts you in front of the people who matter.

The UK wholesale meat trade — a vital part of the supply chain.

Built for the Industry

Meat Index was built by people who understand the meat trade. We know the supply chain inside out — from the abattoir floor to the cold store, from the boning hall to the boardroom. This directory exists because the industry deserves a modern, searchable resource that reflects how business is done today.

Our goal is simple: make it easy for meat industry professionals to find the companies they need, whether that is a new haulage partner, a specialist recruiter, or a packaging supplier with the right certifications.

Free to List, Built to Grow

We believe in building the database first. That is why basic listings on Meat Index are completely free. We want every meat industry company in the UK and Ireland represented here — from the largest multi-site processors to the smallest independent butcher's supplier.

For companies wanting greater visibility, we offer Premium and Featured listing tiers with enhanced profiles, priority placement, and branding options.
