About Prestige Foods

Prestige Foods was established by John O’ Connor in 2003. John is a talented chef, who trained in both France and Ireland, and it is his passion for food and culinary training which has enabled the business to grow and flourish over the years from humble beginnings in a small premises in the Listowel town centre to the modern 2000m2 BRC grade A facility in which we operate today.

At Prestige Foods our mission is to create unique experiences by delivering high-quality culinary products and solutions accompanied by a flexible approach and outstanding service. We are proud to deliver Artisan food products, and our flexible approach means we are big enough to deliver and small enough to listen. On our food production lines, a skilled team of operators produce the best the market has to offer on a daily basis.
