Quality, ethical and sustainable Gippsland beef and lamb processing
Celebrating 80 years of Radfords
Eighty years in business gives us plenty of stories to share, and we’re grateful to the Warragul & Drouin Gazette for helping us tell them in a special anniversary feature published on 10 November.
From the butcher shop Robert and Dorothy Radford opened in Warragul in 1946 to the business we are today, the feature takes a look through the decades at our growth, our family and our connections to Gippsland.
Recently, more than 350 guests joined us at Lardner Park to celebrate this milestone. It was an opportunity to catch up, share memories and thank the staff, producers, customers and business partners who have contributed so much over the years.
We also introduced Gippsland Secret, our new premium, MSA-graded grass-fed beef range, giving us something new to share as we celebrated our history.
Thank you to the Gazette team for recognising the people behind Radfords and bringing together these stories and photographs. We’re proud to be part of this community and appreciate everyone who has been part of our first 80 years.
