Blakemans

James T Blakeman & Co Ltd is the home of the famous Supreme Sausage. Now one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of sausage and meat products, the Blakeman family business has been supplying the domestic, export, catering and fast food markets for over 64 years. After the second world war, during which he had served in the RAF, James Blakeman spent a short time as manufacturing supervisor with a pork butcher in Leek, Staffordshire. In 1953, having picked up what he needed to know about the business Jim decided to set up on his own. He started small, taking a mobile refreshment bar in partnership with his brother-in-law and, at the same time, worked as a freelance sausage-meat manufacturer.
