Highland Game was founded by Christian Nissen in 1997 and since then has strived
to produce the finest quality Venison and game products by processing only wild
Deer and Game from the Highlands of Scotland.
What do we do?
Highland Game is a primary and secondary processor of only wild Venison from the
Scottish Highland Mountains. All our Venison is collected from specially selected
deer larders throughout the Highlands and is then processed at our superior processing
plant in Dundee.
Our current business is made up of supplying Venison and Game to Wholesalers, Caterers,
Multiple Retailers and Direct On-Line Sales throughout the UK. Highland Game is
also currently exporting across Continental Europe.
Why do we do it?
Highland Game Ltd is committed to supplying a range of high quality Venison and
Game products. The aim of Highland Game is to promote "Natures Own Produce". Scottish
Wild produce is renowned for its sheer quality and Highland Game is proud to make
Wild Scottish Venison available to the customer.
Where are we?
Highland Game is based in Dundee, which is an ideal location with good transport
links to both the north and south of the country. We operate daily collections from
deer larders throughout the Highlands of Scotland using refrigerated hanging vehicles.
All despatched goods are carried out by Third Party carriers.
Quality Assurance
Highland Game prides itself on being the only wild Venison producer to offer 100%
veterinary inspection; this gives the customer a level of confidence never offered
before in this market. Highland Game operates under a HACCP system, identifying
hazards and putting in place preventative measures. This allows us to avoid any
food safety hazards throughout the production process. Highland Game is EEC approved
and trades under EEC export approval number UK 1178 EEC. Highland Game is also a
member of the SQWV (Scottish Quality Wild Venison Accreditation Scheme).The purpose
of this Accreditation Scheme is to give Scottish Wild Venison a level of Quality
Assurance and Traceability that has never been done before. In turn this allows
us to pass the extra peace of mind to the customer. SQWV accreditation means that
venison processed under the SQWV title can only come from SQWV approved larders
and be processed at SQWV approved premises.Highland Game is also BRC accredited.
The Plant
Highland Game is totally committed to quality from the moment the carcass is collected.
Collection is carried out by our experienced staff in our 7.5 T refrigerated hanging
vehicles. The carcasses are transported in our Temperature Controlled vehicles to
Highland Game, Processing plant in Dundee, where each carcass is inspected, graded
and weighed. The carcass is then skinned by our experienced staff and further inspected
by an OVS and either passed or rejected. The carcasses are then taken in to our
processing room and cut to customer specifications and requirements. Produce is
either sold as fresh or blast frozen and stored in our holding freezer ready for
despatch. All Highland Game produce is Vacuum Packed to maintain freshness and boxed
on site.
