For more than a century and five generations, from a small grocery store in East London to its BRC AA grade accredited premises in Leytonstone, the Bearfields of London family has been producing gammons and hams of the highest standard.

Determined to consistently deliver unrivalled, high-quality service to all of their customers, this award-winning gammon and ham producer constantly invests in its product and staff development, and infrastructure.
A Vision for a Paperless Business with Total Stock Visibility Five years ago, Bearfields started its search for a new IT system to help future-proof its business and step up to paperless operations. As the company’s Operations Director, Neil Edwards, explained, “For some time, various parts of the business had been researching software products that would solve individual departmental problems. However, we quickly realised that this approach would result in a mesh of disconnected products.” “Strategically, it made far more sense to invest in an all -encompassing solution, and one that would transform us into a paperless business.”
