Our History
BY STEVE ROSS
1947 - 1985
FROM HARRY ROSS TO MEDINA QUAY MEATS
My Grandfather, Harry Ross, opened a small Butchers shop selling quality butchery to the public. My father, Colin Ross, joined in 1960 and concentrated on expanding the catering side of the business. In 1977 he opened "Harry.S.Ross (Wholesale) Ltd." at new premises in Ryde, producing high-quality meats and meat products for the catering trade.
As the business rapidly developed, in February 1983 Colin opened new premises in Newport and transferred the wholesale business from Ryde. In June 1985 the company name was changed to "Medina Quay Meats Ltd" trading as Medina Meats.

We had a further exciting expansion, with the introduction of our own 28,000 sq ft premises in Millbrook, Southampton. With storage & distribution for ambient, frozen & chilled products, this also serves as a permanent base for a fleet of our vans to operate from, further allowing us to extend our delivery area. This also enables us to provide our own storage & haulage service between Southampton & the Isle of Wight.
2021
Medina became a part of the Sysco family, which has helped businesses like ours flourish with its local expertise & global resource. It means that it is very much ‘business as usual’ with the same team & same service, but with the added reassurance that we have the world’s largest foodservice wholesaler at our side. Over time, we will be supplementing our extensive range with Sysco’s award-winning fresh products, as well as the technology & support to provide customers with an event better service.
