P. D Hook (Hatcheries) Ltd

P. D Hook (Hatcheries) Ltd is a family owned business founded in 1950 on the existing hatchery site at Cote in Oxfordshire. It has grown to become the largest independent hatchery company in the UK and a major player in the UK poultry market. We currently produce chickens across the full spectrum including Red Tractor, RSPCA, Oakham, Free Range and Organic. The business has and will continue to invest in our production facilities to ensure we have a modern, efficient farming base to meet the standards required by our customers and consumers.
We operate a fully integrated business supply chain in partnership with the world’s leading breeding and feed companies, Aviagen, Hubbard, ABN and 2Agriculture. This enables us to produce, manage and control the farming process to the highest possible standards, involving each stage of the production process from rearing through to growing.
We are dedicated to developing the talents of young people within the Poultry Industry. We offer Apprenticeship Schemes for new entrants, which incorporate a formal training programme and qualification to ensure we have the right skilled people for now and the future. We continue to train and develop people within the business with regular training in bio security, bird welfare and health and safety.
P.D. Hook is committed to investing in people in order to Drive the Poultry Industry forward
