Pittards of England - a major consumer of pickled hairsheep from Ethiopia - has shown a strong presence at the ‘Meet in Africa’ show. The appearance at the show is seen to serve several purposes.

It is viewed as a way to counteract the negative reaction to the departure of John Pittard after 40 years in the company. A further reason is that Pittards is also one of the leaders in the campaign to improve the quality of the raw skins – particularly by eliminatingf the severe tick damage which has plagued the skins for a decade.
