Leading law firm Roythornes has announced that its Charity of The Year will be St Barnabas...
As a specialist law firm, we have been acting for poultry meat and egg producers for many years. We are now regarded as experts in the sector and are well placed to advise producers and landowners across the supply chain on a whole range of matters, from start-up to succession or sale.
With the UK at 75% self-sufficiency in broiler production and the sector benefiting from the consumer’s preference for leaner meat, the prospects look solid. At the same time, some 35 million eggs are eaten every day in the UK. With ambitious retailer targets for free range production, we expect movement in the sector to continue.
