Parkhill Meats was established in 2016 and continues the legacy of Les' Country Meats, offering local butchering services for 45 years.

7 years ago, Yaser AlQayem left his career as a Manager with London Life when he bought the facility and founded Parkhill Meats. Having never run a business, and not knowing anything about professional meat cutting, Yaser had a steep learning curve as he prepared to open his doors. Working day and night on building updates and learning about the business, Yaser along with 3 employees, opened Parkhill Meats in 2016, a business which was left empty by the previous owners. One of the reasons Yaser decided on this new path, was the challenge of finding good quality, local meat since immigrating to the area. As a meat lover, he knew that this was an important market segment that offered an opportunity.

Since 2016, Yaser along with Parkhill Meats team has taken Parkhill Meats to the next level, presently employing 19 employees and selling to wholesale customers as far away as Windsor, London, Hamilton, Mississauga, Burlington and Brampton.

Yaser’s recipe for success: good service, partnering with local farmers to provide quality products, reliable consistency, and employing the right people, like Mary Beirling. Mary (pictured above) has been an employee of Parkhill Meats since the beginning, and according to Yaser she is the backbone of the company. Mary said an important part of Yaser’s success is due to his treatment of his employees, “making them feel like part of a family”. He provides a delicious lunch to his staff daily, a rare perk in today’s economy.

Yaser stays connected to the community through his involvement in community partnerships like the local 4H Club. Parkhill Meats purchases livestock from students that have raised the animals.
