Tariq Sheikh Receives City of London Corporation Civic Honour Award 2025

Mr. Tariq Sheikh, Founder and Chairman of Tariq Halal Meats, has been awarded the City of London Corporation Civic Honour Award 2025, a longstanding recognition presented to individuals who have contributed meaningfully to business, community life, and the wider economic landscape of the UK. The award acknowledges his many years of leadership within the halal food sector and his role in shaping a dependable and responsible organisation. 

The Civic Honour Award remains one of the City of London Corporation’s most respected acknowledgements, offered to those who have demonstrated sustained commitment, integrity, and service. For Tariq Halal Meats, this moment quietly reinforces the principles that have guided the business since its inception, which are reliability, authenticity, and a steadfast focus on maintaining customer trust. 

Across the company’s development, Mr. Sheikh has played an important role in building a halal brand grounded in transparent sourcing, accredited suppliers, and adherence to recognised halal standards. The award reflects his contribution to strengthening confidence in halal meat supply chains and supporting improvements across the wider sector, both in the UK and internationally. 

For customers, this recognition reaffirms the values they associate with Tariq Halal Meats, i.e., consistent quality, clarity in production, and a long-term commitment to serving diverse communities. It also mirrors the organisation’s continued efforts to offer fresh, chilled, frozen, and ready-made halal products that meet contemporary needs while respecting heritage and tradition. 

The honour comes as the business continues to grow. In recent years, Tariq Halal Meats has expanded its partnerships with major UK retailers, including supplying over 300 Sainsbury’s stores, and has extended its presence into the UAE. Availability through platforms such as Talabat further supports the aim of offering greater convenience and accessibility to customers. 

Although the award is presented to an individual, it reflects the shared contribution of employees, partners, and customers who have shaped the organisation’s journey. It serves as a reminder of the heritage and guiding values that continue to support the long-term direction of Tariq Halal Meats as it moves forward.
