1895-2020: Celebrating 125 years in business
In 1895, Edmund and William Vestey built their first cold store in London – the start of what was to become a successful, pioneering and enduring family business.
Each succeeding generation have put their own mark on the business and this year, we will celebrate our bright future: one where we build on the entrepreneurial, resilient and pioneering spirit of previous generations in order to grow businesses and communities that are stronger than those left to us.
We look forward to celebrating this year’s festivities with our colleagues, business partners and friends.
Inspiring
future generations
We’re a fourth generation, family-owned business, with origins stretching back to the 1890s. Today, we primarily invest in food companies operating in various segments of the industry. As custodians of these companies, we’re not about the short term – our core aim is to build and improve them for future.

Building on a pioneering
and visionary history
The foundations of Vestey Holdings date back to the 1890s when brothers William and Edmund Vestey established the Union Cold Storage Company in Liverpool. Pioneering and visionary, the entrepreneurial spirit of our forefathers continues to influence the way we run our business today.
