One millionth order for award-winning Natures Menu



Award-winning pet food supplier Natures Menu has achieved yet another landmark in the company’s business history...the processing of its One Millionth Order!

The Norfolk-based firm has been manufacturing natural pet foods since 1981. Starting out as a small family business preparing simple minced meat pet foods for local dog kennels and clubs, it now boasts an award-winning range of natural pet foods sold across Europe.

Managing director Craig Taylor was one of the original family members and has been with the company since it began.

He says the company is committed to sourcing its pet food ingredients from local suppliers and Great Britain as a principle, contributing positively to the growth of the local economy in East Anglia.

As an expanding company Natures Menu has also been able to take on extra staff with further job opportunities to be expected as the company grows and fulfils the demand for its pet foods.

Craig is sure Natures Menu’s success lies in the fact that it provides honestly labelled, genuinely natural, great quality products that pets find irresistible.

"I am delighted that Natures Menu has reached such a landmark and proud to still be serving the UK’s finest pet stores after 33 years."

The lucky one millionth customer was Brenda Holmes, who runs the independent pet store Dis-Cover Pets Corner in Diss,.

Brenda said: 'There is so much real meat in the Natures Menu products. We are always telling customers that’s what makes a pet so healthy. The treats are the only thing that brings my cats into the house when I call them."

Brenda and Store manager Debbie are pictured with Natures Menus managing director Craig Taylor receiving a bottle of bubbly.
