History

The Mad Butcher was founded by Sir Peter Leitch, a prominent New Zealand businessman, in 1971. Leitch opened a butchery store in Mangere East (Auckland) and in 2012 the brand “the Mad Butcher” came about as a household kiwi name.  When asked about the name Leitch explained that it came from someone referring to him as “that f***ing mad butcher” at his local pub. The mad butcher himself - Sir Peter Leitch, was knighted in 1991 for his service to the community. Leitch is known for his support of New Zealand rugby and New Zealand rugby league, and was often featured as a sponsor for the New Zealand Warriors.His brand became known for having a “kiwi as” culture and relating to the general kiwi population. 

The company works with a range of local charities to provide support for the local community. During New Zealand’s lockdowns in 2020 and 2021, the Mad Butcher sold deliverable meat packs to the local community, however only some of the franchises still offer deliverable options.
