From a halal butcher on Ladypool Road to a national wholesaler: a short history of Indus Foods.
In 1962 our founders opened one of the UK’s first halal butchers and greengrocers on Ladypool Road in Sparkbrook, Birmingham.
Demand from caterers and shops led the family to set up Indus Foods as a dedicated wholesale business in 1972. Three years later we began importing direct from South Asia.
The third generation of the family now runs the business, supplying more than 6,000 product lines from over 150 countries.
