34 | UK Enterprise Awards 2022 McWhinney’s has secured a lasting reputation in its industry through a diligent dedication to its craft – and in producing a consistently high quality product. Following its well-deserved win in the UK Enterprise Awards, we took a closer look at this stalwart of the sausage industry. McWhinney’s have been making the same high quality Irish Pork Sausages since 1898. Current Managing Director Kevin McWhinney is the fifth generation of the family to faithfully produce the original secret recipe that has served the past generations so well and seen the business go from strength to strength. Kevin, a Master Butcher by trade, made the decision to focus on exclusively producing Pork Sausages following the untimely passing of his father in an aeroplane accident. Along with his wife Elaine, also a fully-qualified butcher, Kevin took the business from a local butcher’s shop to the nationally-recognised and award-winning quality brand that is known today. Everyone at McWhinney’s is delighted with the news of winning the SME UK Enterprise Award for Best Food Service Irish Pork Sausage Brand 2022.
