Everyone at IMS of Smithfield is delighted to congratulate Toby Whitehead on being crowned Young National Chef of the Year 2026. What an incredible achievement and a well-deserved recognition of his talent and dedication.

We would also like to congratulate Eno West on his fantastic second-place finish and Ben Cleary on securing third place. To reach the final of this prestigious competition is an outstanding accomplishment in itself, and all three chefs should be immensely proud.

As a supporter of the Craft Guild of Chefs and Young National Chef of the Year, we are passionate about championing young talent and helping to inspire the future leaders of our industry.

We believe in working with partners who share the same values as us. Christian explains why working with farmers and suppliers who care about quality, sustainability and doing things the right way makes all the difference. By taking the time to build strong relationships with the people behind our products, we gain a deeper understanding of their sustainability journeys and can then share those stories with our customers.

You can’t beat the feeling of taking customers to the farms you work with.

This week, we headed to one of the incredible farms behind Blackstone Beef to give our customers a first-hand look at the care and hard work behind every cut of beef..

We’re proud to connect customers with producers who share our passion for quality, sustainability and provenance.

IMS of Smithfield was founded over 50 years ago by Roberto Raggio who worked incredibly hard to provide for his family.

Christian talks passionately about how his father built the business from the ground up, what it means to now be part of that journey and how he’s found working as part of a family business for the last two decades

From those early days as a trader to where IMS is today, it remains a family business at heart, shaped by the same values that have been passed down.

Why do we have a Himalayan salt wall inside our maturation chiller?

Himalayan salt is often used in dry-ageing rooms because it helps draw moisture from the surrounding air to create a drier, more controlled environment. This results in improved texture, concentrated flavour, and more controlled, consistent ageing conditions for your meat.

The whole IMS team is fully committed to advancing regenerative farming, working in close partnership with our producers to embed science-led, outcome-driven practices across our supply chain. For us, regenerative agriculture is not a label, it is a measurable, year-on-year commitment to improving soil health, biodiversity and emissions performance.

You know it’s going to be a good day when you find a four-leaf clover.🍀

We had another brilliant day recently visiting Yorkshire farms with some of our customers from who were able to see first‑hand how regenerative beef farming can be practical, scalable and future‑ready.

Throughout the day we explored how sustainable and intelligent, data‑led systems can deliver better outcomes for the land, the animals and the food our customers serve. Whilst sustainability is absolutely key, we also know our customers love the improved marbling distribution, greater tenderness and consistent flavour profile that our beef products bring. These farms tick every box and we love to showcase this through our customer visits.

If you would be interested in joining one of our future trips we’d love to hear from you.
