    Dukeshill Ham Co Ltd is a small artisan food business in Telford. We are customer-centric, rewarding, inclusive, and our goal is to create a healthy and collborative work enviroment that promotes growth and development. DukesHill was founded in 1985 with a vision of producing the finest hams, traditionally cured the "old-fashioned" way and with the highest regard for animal welfare. Our product range has grown over the years, but our guiding principle of putting flavour and quality before speed or yield remains as strong as ever..

    Soon after this momentous occasion, we moved to larger pastures and expanded our artisan range over the intervening years. From top-quality cured and fresh meats, traditionally smoked fish, artisan cheeses, handmade puddings, and pies to luxury hampers and much more. What's kept the quality just as it was all those years ago is our admiration for, and loyalty to, maintaining a traditional approach to crafting fine foods and nurturing relationships with British farmers and small artisan producers. We believe it's this commitment that will keep our heritage rich and our food truly something to celebrate.
