Brighton Sausage Co marks 20 years from North Laine startup to Lancing hub

An independent Sussex business that operates a retail shop in Brighton is highlighting its history in the city.

The Brighton Sausage Co, founded in 2006 by Paul Gilks and David Barr, has traded since its launch in the heart of Brighton’s North Laine. The business remains a fixture of the city’s high street.

Starting as a specialist shop at 28a Gloucester Road, the business survived various economic shifts by focusing on traditional production methods. The founders, who have been at the helm since the launch, initially produced all goods on-site.
