MANAGING DIRECTOR, KORKERS SAUSAGES

Korkers Sausages is a family business with a story full of passion and determination to succeed that Jim Hoad started in a small butcher’ s shop in the Kent village of Rolvenden back in 1959.

Leading the second generation at the helm, Ed Hoad has played a pivotal role in maintaining the exceptional quality and taste that has defined Korkers for over six decades. His leadership has seen the business grow while staying true to the original recipe created by his father 66 years ago.
With a deep passion for the brand, Ed has overseen the expansion of the factory, ensuring Korkers continues to meet growing demand without compromising its traditional craftsmanship. Ed continues to drive Korkers forward, blending heritage with innovation to secure its place as a beloved staple for generations to come.
What started as a humble family recipe is now an award-winning product and the original Korkers recipe remains unchanged, which is a testament to its perfection. Unlike massproduced sausages, Korkers are made with premium cuts of pork and a carefully balanced blend of seasonings, ensuring each bite delivers a satisfying crunch and depth of flavour.
Beyond their taste, Korkers sausages embody craftsmanship and passion. Each link is made with the same dedication as when they first hit the market, maintaining the highest quality standards. It’ s this unwavering commitment that has won them awards and a loyal following of food lovers.
Whether enjoyed at home or in a bustling cafe, Korkers sausages continue to bring people together, proving that sometimes, the best recipes don’ t need to changed, they just need to be enjoyed.
