Lloyd Maunder are an Exeter, Devon based group of West Country retail butchers, a major producer of locally reared beef, pork and chicken products.
As the business's dependence on rail transport increased, the company moved its headquarters and main meat processing operations in 1913 to the current site in Willand, near Exeter, to allow easier access to the Great Western Railway.
In the interwar period, the company expanded quickly in both its meat processing capacity, and its retail division.
Lloyd Maunder began processing chicken in 1958, which by the 2000s at the Willand plant had become the dominant part of the company's output and turnover.
[1] In 2005, the company had bought Dewhurst Butchers Ltd an MBO based in Tunbridge Wells Kent who had purchased it from the receivers of the Vestey Group in 1995.
