A popular UK butcher has entered liquidation after being incorporated in 2022. The move was confirmed in an official notice in the London Gazette, the UK’s official public record site, which revealed that Signature Farm Meats Ltd entered Creditor’s Voluntary Liquidation on March 5, 2026. Resolutions have been passed that the company would be wound up voluntarily and that “Brian Milne and Ishbel MacNeil of Third Floor, Turnberry House, 175 West George Street, Glasgow, G2 2LB be and are hereby appointed Joint Liquidators for the purpose of such winding up”.

“Any act required or authorised under any enactment to be done by a liquidator may be done by one of them,” the notice reads. The company, which was called Premier Meats Signature Limited until February 2023, was incorporated in 2022, according to Companies House. The nature of its business is described as the “wholesale of meat and meat products”, with a principal trading address at 549 Cowpen Road, Blyth, Northumberland.

The family-run business has not released a statement following the news of its liquidation. On social media, it describes its products as “small batch, produced on site and damn well delicious”.

According to social media posts, it traded at markets and proved popular with locals. On its LinkedIn profile, it describes itself as “specialist sausage and burger producers”.

“At our Blyth unit, we don’t haul in sausages cramped in freezer boxes; we craft them by hand every week, fresh for you,” it said in its most recent post on the social media site.

“Using personally selected spice blends, we’ve created a high-quality, carnivore diet-friendly sausage that’s bursting with flavour,” it adds.

Signature Farm Meats Ltd has been contacted for comment.

“We believe in real quality, that’s a true representation of whole food quality, the meat industry should have a reputation for. How often do you stop to think about what goes into a sausage from a supermarket shelf budget brand? For most people, never”

Creditor’s Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) is the process by which a company’s directors voluntarily close the company, according to Real Business Rescue.

However, Signature Farm Meats Ltd has not explained its reasons for entering liquidation, or whether it is experiencing significant financial hardships. In a recent Facebook post, the company explained that beef prices had more than doubled since 2022, something it said is not “some catchphrase moan from a butcher”.
