Fish’n’Chick’n was started in 1971 by Hugh Lipscombe and Peter Lipscombe. Hugh and Peter purchased Harlow in this year, which is one of the company’s best performing shops to this day. In 1975 Duncan Lipscombe joined the company and the three brothers had a collective vision which was to grow and build the most successful chain of fish and chip shops in England.
We grew from strength to strength through the 80’s and 90’s by offering our customers only the best fish and chips, served by a motivated workforce in a clean and pleasant environment.
In 2004 Peter and Duncan wanted to leave the company to pursue other business interests which left the door open for Hugh to orchestrate a management buyout thus bringing the entire company under his direct control and securing the long term future of the company.
At the same time Hugh made James a Director of the business and Emma Muir was promoted to Company Secretary and Finance Manager. Our business has since flourished under Hugh’s leadership becoming the largest independent chain of fish and chip shops in the country. Since 2004 the company has purchased 4 new sites as well as embarking on a programme of reinvestment into its existing shops.
Competition remains strong within the industry but due to the experience and focus that Fish’n’Chick’n has we believe that thanks to our hard working staff, we can achieve rapid growth within the industry in the upcoming years. |
