Meet The Team
Mark Lewis - Managing Director
A H Lewis and Sons was founded in 1902 by George Lewis in Newport Market. Mark Lewis, the third generation of family butchers joined at the age of 15 and worked alongside his Father and Grandfather learning the skills to be a Master Butcher.
" Father and I traded together and for a number of years we traded successfully but the powers that be plonked a supermarket right alongside us. My Father would drive the pony and cart to the local abattoir and collect tripe and cow heels, dress them and sell them in the market. When the supermarket opened it was the death knell for many retail butchers and we made the decision to move into wholesaleing and catering" Mark Lewis, MD
Victoria Barnes - Sales and Marketing Director
Victoria joined the family business 5 years ago to work within the role of Sales and Marketing Director.

Our longest standing member of staff, Billy, as we like to call him, has been a master butcher for 40 years and started in the trade straight after leaving school. Working in a number of retail outlets in Scotland, Billy has worked for us over 10 years and brings a wealth of experience and tradtion to our business
Leyton Griffiths - Trainee Butcher (Right)
Leyton joined the business back in 1998 and started as our delivery driver. He really excelled within this role, proving his wealth of local knowledge, making him the best multi-drop driver in our area. Leyton very quickly outgrew his role as delivery driver, and the business saw the opporunity to train Leyton in-house . Under Billy's guidance Leyton has become a valuable asset within the cutting room team proving there is a next generation within skilled butchers.
