Proudly celebrating 110 years one Wellington butcher has been leading the local meat industry. Reaching Wellington he walked over the Rimutaka Hill to Featherston for his first job. He then worked for the Gear Meat Company a local meat exporter for a time, and after the Boer War he started his first butcher shop in Tory Street, Wellington. Preston had seven retail shops in Wellington as well as a smallgoods and a pickle factory both in the city and a bacon factory in Blenheim.
The eldest son, Arthur Edmund Preston, like his brothers learned the butchery trade and got to know trade stock. Preston II took over the Willis Street shop and was joined by two of his six sons, Rod and Scot, in the 1960’s. During 1978, Rod and Scot Preston opened a purpose built specialist meat processing operation in Hopper Street. The Hopper Street plant caters for the trade retail butchers, hotels, restaurants, cafes, catering organisations, supermarkets and the general public.
In 1985 Rod and Scot Preston opened their Palmerston North factory and shop at 88 Cuba Street, supplying customers throughout the central districts. With the passing of his brother Scot, Rod Preston is now the Managing Director of Preston's Master Butchers with locations in central Wellington, Porirua and Palmerston North . Traditional recipes, artisan practises and gentleman like family values and ethics still form the heart of the Business today
