EBLEX is the organisation for beef and lamb levy payers in England. We exist to enhance the profitability and sustainability of the English beef and lamb sector. Our aims are:

To help the beef and sheep meat supply chain become more efficient
To add value to the beef and sheep meat industry.

We undertake a variety of activities on behalf of our levy payers to help them get the best possible returns from their enterprises in a sustainable way, as well as stimulating a profitable demand for beef and lamb. Our work is equally split between cattle and sheep and can be divided into a number of distinct areas. Without the involvement of EBLEX, it is unlikely that individual enterprises would have the resources to invest in areas like research and marketing – to the detriment of the industry.

At Asda we work with local suppliers to bring customers the products they want to see in their local store.

One example is Wild’s bakery in Keighley which has been baking for the town since the 1920s where Grandma Wild’s biscuits are famous. When the new Asda store opened in Keighley in July, customers asked if we could stock their cakes, bread and biscuits and so we did!

The amount of help we provide to suppliers will vary from company to company. For example, a local farmer who is used to selling his goods at a farmer’s market will need more help getting set up to supply a national supermarket like Asda than a big multi-national company, so we work with them to give them the help they need, whether it’s giving training on barcodes or making special arrangements for deliveries.

John Bateman, one of the family who runs Wild’s bakery, says: “Asda are trying as a retailer to help and encourage local suppliers and producers so they’re trying to be as helpful as they can. The new lines weren’t difficult to set up, but if we’d needed help it was there.”
