Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster has announced that Hannan Meats is to supply beef to top London store Fortnum and Mason.

Arlene Foster said: "This is a marvellous endorsement of one of our most quality conscious meat companies, and indeed of Northern Ireland food, by a prestigious London retailer with a global reputation for excellence.
"Hannan Meats is benefiting from ongoing investment, including the provision of a Himalayan Salt Chamber for ageing meat to bring out exceptional flavours and rich texture for customers.
"This impressive commitment to market-focused innovation was recognised in the recent UK Great Taste Awards when the company gained the Supreme Champion Award for its unique Italian style Moyallon Guanciale and a further 26 gold stars for its products - an all-time UK record."
The Minister added: "The outstanding achievements of Hannan Meats, now also recognised so significantly by Fortnum and Mason, demonstrates how local food companies and their suppliers can grow by investing in the development of premium products for high profile customers outside Northern Ireland."
