In acquiring the Hall’s brand, created by David A Hall in 1932, Browns, established in 1885, has effectively merged two of Scotland’s oldest family owned food businesses.
The move by Browns, which is headquartered in Kirkconnel, Dumfriesshire, will see the retention of the Hall’s production in Scotland, and the van sales operation will continue to operate throughout Scotland. Fifty Hall’s employees will be retained in that area.
Browns Food Group is a UK food manufacturer, supplying retail, food service and wholesale markets.
The group operates from seven manufacturing sites in Scotland and England, producing and supplying an extensive range in quality cooked meats, pre-sliced and whole joints, ready meals, salmon, poultry products, convenience foods and a variety of delicatessen items. The entire group boasts a product range which extends well into the thousands.
