Little over apiaries – A world wide honey producer based in Derbyshire – is celebrating over 20 years in business.
Littleover Apiaries started life in the world of honey in the late 1990s and is now one of the largest honey producers and packers in Europe. Founder Tony Spacey is justifiably proud of the fact that the business is ‘big enough to cope but still small enough to care’.
Over the last 20 years there have been many changes at Littleover Apiaries and though it is now one of the largest producers of honey in the world, it has remained a ‘family company’ with its head office firmly placed in Derbyshire.
