Why do we have a Himalayan salt wall inside our maturation chiller?

Himalayan salt is often used in dry-ageing rooms because it helps draw moisture from the surrounding air to create a drier, more controlled environment. This results in improved texture, concentrated flavour, and more controlled, consistent ageing conditions for your meat.

The whole IMS team is fully committed to advancing regenerative farming, working in close partnership with our producers to embed science-led, outcome-driven practices across our supply chain. For us, regenerative agriculture is not a label, it is a measurable, year-on-year commitment to improving soil health, biodiversity and emissions performance.

You know it’s going to be a good day when you find a four-leaf clover.🍀

We had another brilliant day recently visiting Yorkshire farms with some of our customers from who were able to see first‑hand how regenerative beef farming can be practical, scalable and future‑ready.

Throughout the day we explored how sustainable and intelligent, data‑led systems can deliver better outcomes for the land, the animals and the food our customers serve. Whilst sustainability is absolutely key, we also know our customers love the improved marbling distribution, greater tenderness and consistent flavour profile that our beef products bring. These farms tick every box and we love to showcase this through our customer visits.

If you would be interested in joining one of our future trips we’d love to hear from you.

Sutton Hoo isn’t just another free-range chicken. Founded in 1994 with a mission to bring back real flavour the Nash family have built a farming model rooted in patience, welfare and craftsmanship. Their slow-grown Hubbard birds mature over ten weeks which is 25% longer than standard systems. This is important for developing natural texture, superior intramuscular structure and a depth of flavour chefs immediately recognise on the plate.

Recently, we had the pleasure of welcoming members of the to Yorkshire for a truly inspiring day visiting some of the farms we are proud to work with. The day offered a closer look at IMS’s fantastic partnership with The Stabiliser Cattle Company, with chefs gaining real insight into regenerative farming and the care, commitment and long‑term thinking behind it.
Regenerative agriculture is something the IMS team is incredibly passionate about, and this visit marked just the beginning. There’s plenty more to share about this partnership in the coming months and we’re already looking forward to welcoming more chefs onto one of our farm tours very soon.

We’re proud to offer our clients the opportunity to experience our supply chain first-hand.

Our farm visits provide a unique insight into the grassroots of our industry, from livestock and farming practices through to processing, bringing real transparency to the products you serve.
You’ll also meet the farmers at the heart of our supply chain, whose commitment to responsible land management, high animal welfare standards and sustainable farming practices underpins everything we do.

It’s a genuinely valuable experience for teams, deepening product knowledge and enabling you to tell a more meaningful story to your customers.

If this is something you’d be interested in exploring, we’d be delighted to welcome you.

Here at IMS we work in partnership with farms that care for land health as rigorously as animal welfare, recognising that exceptional meat begins with nutrient-rich soil, well-managed pasture, and livestock reared with patience and respect.

Regenerative practices and responsible stewardship ensure the land is protected for the long term, not simply worked for short-term gain.

Last week, we attended the first ever .london Live Innovation Forum. This was themed around World Earth Week with a strong CSR and sustainability focus. The forum brought together over 200 attendees, including executive chefs, general managers, .London head office teams, directors, clients and consultants.

During the session, we showcased a number of collaborative concepts developed through our partnership with Alex Rowe, who is culinary director at Vacherin. We focused on reducing food-related emissions while maintaining flavour, quality and consistency for chefs.

We love events like this as it allows us to collaborate with chefs, suppliers and producers to create practical, lower-impact menu solutions. It’s always great to watch as our customers discover how plant-forward hybrid products can play an important role in the future of sustainable catering.
