About Ensors
Situated within the picturesque Forest of Dean, the family owned and run company has grown dramatically from its modest beginnings over 70 years ago when a retail butchers shop was opened by Mr A F Ensor in the rural town of Cinderford. In the 1950's the company diversified the business and entered into the livestock processing industry. The company grew from strength to strength over the next 50 years as it expanded into new areas of enterprise which included primal cutting, meat product manufacturing, catering butchery and retail packing. |

The company now owns a multi-species EC licensed abattoir which processes approximately 200 cattle, 1800 pigs and 500 lambs per week, along with a co-located primal cutting plant. The company also owns a second EC licensed cutting plant which was opened in 2002. The Ensors Enterprise Centre site is dedicated to the production of high quality butchery and manufactured meat products for both the catering and retail sectors. The two sites are located in the town of Cinderford, where the business began in 1934 and both facilities are accredited to the highest possible food safety standards. |

The company has independent verification, labelling and documentation of carcases by an MLC officer. This forms an integral part of the traceability chain which ensures that all meat is traceable by a batch code from the finished product right back to the original souce of livestock.
