Leathams is an independently owned British company started by brothers Mark & Oliver Leatham in 1980. From its creation as a supplier of game and smoked salmon to London’s finest restaurants, the focus of Leathams’ business has always been on quality and service. Several thousand products and thirty-odd years later, this is a very successful food business, offering a dynamic range of innovative, inspirational foods to professional chefs, caterers and all other trade channels. With high quality brands that include Merchant Gourmet®, SunBlush®, Chef’s Brigade® and Charcuti®, Leathams is well-known in the food service and retail sectors.
As a supplier of speciality ingredients, Leathams sources both from the UK marketplace and from a global supply base. It invests significantly in the UK and champions welfare assured, organic and local British produce. Leathams is a member of the Red Tractor scheme which places emphasis on high farming standards, food safety, animal welfare and good environmental practices, and it supplies a range of Red Tractor certified meat and dairy products.
When sourcing on a global level, Leathams works in partnership with its suppliers; helping with social development and employee welfare and seeking to improve technical processes and increase food welfare beyond the minimum standards set by UK law. These supplier partnerships ensure full traceability on every single product sold by Leathams, with all products coming from ethically audited and sustainable sites that comply with International Labour Organisation standards.
With a product list ranging from smoked almonds to wheat berries, there is not much that you cannot find at Leathams and Harbour & Jones is proud to use them as a supplier.
