Gafoor was established on a farm in Kirkham in 1964 as a specialist supplier of high-quality poultry meat to the small community of Asian residents in the Preston area. An independently owned business with traditional family values, it has since grown to become one of the country’s long established reliable halal poultry processors.

The business was originally set up by 3 brothers who arrived in the UK from India in the late 50’s and early 60’s.Sadly Haji Gafoor is no longer with us but Haji Mohammed and Haji Isa both in their 70’s and 80’s are still active and pay frequent visits to the factory in central Preston.The business is now under the stewardship of the second generation of Vaza family members.

2013 saw Gafoor begin their retail journey. Rolling out their own branded butcheries in East London under the stewardship of Mr Aseef Vaza. With branches in Green st, Leytonstone, Ilford Lane, Upton Lane and Southall and more to come– our award winning butcheries offer consumers a direct money saving on their weekly meat & poultry basket spends.

In 2020 Gafoor took their retail butchery online with the launch of GPH their home delivery & click and collect app. As a result of the covid-19 pandemic the app was initially launched to serve the East London community and now plans are in place to launch with a nationwide delivery service soon.
