Over 50 Years of Meat Craft and Still Leading The Way

In December of 1941, Noel Keating, the founder of Kepak Group, was born in Kilrush, Co-Clare. His mother and father, Mary and Sonny Keating, owned a family butcher and at the tender age of 15, Noel left school to learn his trade in the Henry Street shop.
Noel was passionate and full of promise, moving swiftly from an apprenticeship in Limerick to the Anderson Butcher’s of Glasnevin and then onto FX Buckley’s on Chatham Street in Dublin. In 1964, Noel married Marie O’Byrne. They opened their own butcher shop on Dublin’s Francis Street in 1966.
