Horizon Gourmet Meats, based in South Townsville, is your local meat wholesaler. Horizon processes all its own meat, using only quality beef, lamb, pork, veal, poultry, and game meats that are sourced from North and Central Queensland's best meat producers. Horizon's products are the highest quality, which is why the company is a preferred supplier of meat products and smallgoods to Townsville's best fine-dining restaurants and cafes. Horizon is now suppling its own quality branded product, ‘Horizon Meats', direct to you.
The owners, Craig and Roxann McGimpsey, have worked in the meat industry for more than two decades. They have brought all their experience to Horizon and have built a successful meat wholesaler. Their success comes from delivering quality meat products to North and Central Queensland's tables.
Craig and Roxann were born and raised in Townsville and both have a comprehensive knowledge of the beef industry, from the paddock to the plate. They spent almost a decade, living and travelling the Atherton Tablelands selling, slaughtering and butchering beef.
The team at Horizon Gourmet Meats listen to what their customers want and then sources the meat. It's the only way to deliver exactly what the customer wants and is why Horizon is a preferred supplier to the local hospitality industry.
More about Horizon...
Horizon Gourmet Meats is licensed by Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) to process and supply MLA guaranteed tenderness-graded beef. All products are processed under Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) - to ensure the highest standards in hygiene.
Horizon has purchased operations to manage every step of the meat supply chain, from the paddock to the plate.
Horizon has purchased a Queensland cattle property, Horizon Pastoral. The property is where Horizon's carefully selected cattle breeds are raised. These select cattle are then grass fed at the new processing operations Horizon Processing, formally Sand Island Beef, in Giru, south of Townsville.
Horizon Pastoral will produce its own branded veal to keep up with the demand from chefs for quality veal products.
Horizon's own transport fleet provides reliable livestock and refrigerated transport for Horizon Gourmet Meats. This reduces the costs, and the savings are passed on to customers.
