About J Rainfords & Sons Limited

 

J Rainfords & Sons Ltd, a family run business was established over 70 years ago and has been producing eggs from 160,000 chickens at their Hatchwood site in Brindle, Lancashire. In 1988, they won the coverted national Egg Quality Award and have since implemented a highly automated grading and packing facility that ensures the complete production and packing process is to the highest standards as demanded by buyers.

 

"Rainfords see themselves as more than just egg producers but rather
as an integral part of the food chain.

8th April 2014 - Pennine Eggs has announced today that it has sold 100% of its share capital to David Staveley of Staveleys Eggs LTD. The acquisition also includes, J.Rainford and Sons LTD and the freehold of the Hatchwood Farm site.

 

David Staveley quoted: “I am proud to be associated with Pennine Eggs and the long established Rainford business. I look forward to working with the existing team at Hatchwood Farm for many years to come."

 

Late November 2007, J Rainford & Sons Ltd merged with WA McHardy & Sons Ltd of Milnthorpe, Cumbria. They felt that the merger wasn't only about bringing their businesses together but was an alliance of ideas for the future. The new company, trading as
J Rainfords & Sons Ltd is now perfectly placed for growth and job creation.

 

Both families had known each other for years so the merger was viewed as the logical step forward and will give both the scope to expand and service the entire region.

 

The new business venture will be based place at the Hatchwood site in Lancashire, with a distribution centre in Cumbria and will see production and packaging reach 1.75 million eggs per week once an ongoing modernisation programme has been completed.

 

Rainfords will continue to supply Lion Quality Eggs to major supermarkets and smaller retailers across the North West, as well as their own brand, Pennine Eggs.
