Humble Beginnings
Haji Ghalib embarked on a transformative journey from his hometown, Gujar Khan, Pakistan, with the aspiration of securing an improved quality of life for his family. Initially arriving in the north of England, he eventually found his new home in Birmingham.
First Business Venture
With the shortage of halal meat in the city, Haji Ghalib took initiative and began to source chickens from nearby rural farms. He ensured that they undergo the proper Islamic slaughter ritual and then began to distribute this halal meat to the local community.
Alamgeer Food Store
Haji Ghalib’s son, Haji Auraungzeb, eventually established the ‘Alamgeer Food Store’ in Small Heath, Birmingham. The family started to produce and sell a traditional spice blend used as curry masala known as Bassar, marking the inception of a remarkable journey.
Alamgeer Foods Limited
The family began to import spices and other items from Pakistan, eventually moving their stock to a warehouse in Walsall and soon becoming ‘Alamgeer Foods Limited’. At this time, we established ourselves as a full-fledged wholesale supplier of imported goods and went on to diversify our lines of products.
A New Beginning
Alamgeer Foods moves into a new 40,000 square-foot warehouse as we continue to expand and grow. We now employ more than 30 staff members and supply over 1,800 businesses all over the UK, the Republic of Ireland, and parts of Europe.
