Lewis Pies targets Middle East with new sales and distribution agreement

Lewis Pies, a pie and pasty manufacturer in the UK, has secured a new sales and distribution agreement with the Yearsley Group, an independent frozen food service provider in the UK.

Lewis Pies’ main objective for using the Yearsley Group is its unrivalled experience and expertise in exporting to the Middle East. Thus helping it to supply and showcase its new Crescent range of quality halal pies and pasties.

Lewis Pies is a Wales-based business and one of the only senior pie manufacturers in the UK to be halal accredited. The introduction of its Crescent range of compliant halal products has already seen significant success within the Muslim community in the UK.

The company’s halal products are produced under strict certificated conditions within a pork-free manufacturing site. Only halal certified suppliers are used for production and its processes and procedures are regularly audited by the Halal Authority Board (HAB).

Wilf Lewis, managing director of Lewis Pies, said: “We are extremely proud of our halal range and its instant popularity. This has provided us with the opportunity to expand further into new markets such as the Middle East. It is important for us as a business to expand and make these products available, where there is a demand in the market. Yearsley are the perfect partner to help us achieve this and in turn we will assist them in strengthening their offering”.

Adrian Hall from Yearsley Group, said: “We are extremely pleased to have been offered this opportunity to work with Lewis

Pies and are confident in the Crescent range of products being a huge success.”
