About our Meatworx team

New business in 2020, but not new to the industry, Meatworx was founded by Brad Walters and Rentia Cannon. Delivering professional ethics and high-quality customer service..

Brad is passionate about providing the best quality food to the table.
Butchery and cooking has been a lifelong passion for Brad. He felt that the contrast between a retail shop and a homekill butcher shop was worlds apart. Wanting and striving for a stellar homekill service, he gave up his career in Management, Sales and Marketing and went back to school to learn the art of Butchery and then started Meatworx.

Brad is one of the first and possibly is the only fully qualified butcher in the homekill industry in NZ that gained his qualifications in the new apprenticeship program. He also specialised in Carcass Breaking and Boning, Curing and Smoking and Handcrafted Small Goods.

Completing the majority of training at Clarks Organic Butchery, the highest professional skill level was expected in all areas. These skills, as well as previous industry experience and his attention to detail, is evident throughout the entire business.
