Winner: Large Business Award
About us
GA is a family-owned private label pet food manufacturer based in Chorley.
We create recipes using the finest raw materials sourced from farms and fisheries we know and trust.
Our partners are traditional pet shops and corporate brands that use these recipes to create their own pet food brand.
Our achievements
GA has grown significantly in the last twelve months during a time of intense supply chain and socio-economic challenges.
We have grown our sales by 17 per cent in 2021 to £137m.
We export to more than 50 countries worldwide and this contributes to 45 per cent of our total sales.
What the judges said
“GA Pet Foods is an exemplar for other manufacturers in Lancashire, with impressive investments in the business and the community.”
What’s next
GA has a number of ambitious plans for the future, including generating all of our own renewable energy whilst working with local residents to achieve a Mutual Journey to Net Zero by 2050.
Furthermore, our strategy swims against the short-termism tide prevalent in the pet sector and provides sustainable solutions for small pet shops throughout Europe.
Our aim is to increase our current partner base from 2,700 to 5,000 pet shops in the next two to three years.
