H. Smith Food Group plc is one of the UK’s leading independent frozen food service companies specialising in the oriental, fusion/crossover and food-to-go markets. We supply and distribute a wide range of frozen poultry, pork, lamb, seafood and vegetable products to wholesalers, cash and carries, caterers, retailers and sandwich/ready-meal manufacturers throughout the British Isles and Ireland.

H. Smith has, throughout its history, kept abreast of the increasing globalisation of the industry and now imports directly from Asia, the Americas, Australasia and mainland Europe.

As a company we are proud, that despite the vagaries of the economy, we have continued to push the company forward. In 2013, a decision was made to purchase land and build a new coldstore and office complex in Rainham – the first time in the company’s history it has owned its premises.

In recent years, consumer concerns over food safety have driven our industry to greater accountability and traceability. Consequently, the company now has two BRC accreditations with an AA grade being achieved for both Agents & Brokers, and Storage & Distribution. The directors believe that this strong commitment to certification ensures product quality and customer confidence.
