Postwar

After the Second World War Mr. George Adams's two sons George and John set about developing a business that operated from two butchers shops under war rationing. This was an era of great change, both socially and scientifically also economically.

The business expansion was driven by acquiring butchers shops in the East Midlands, Lincolnshire and Norfolk and supplying them with meat and meat products from Spalding. As well as slaughtering and manufacturing in South Lincolnshire, many home were serviced directly from completely unrefrigerated vans!
In 1953 a modern factory was built behind the shop in the Crescent, Spalding, and in 1963 a new modern abattoir was built on the outskirts of Spalding in Fulney Lane. As well as retailing through about 20 shops, meat and meat products were distributed wholesale by the vehicles supplying the Geo Adams butchers shops.
