History
The Company sold and shipped meat products to London in the 1880s. The Central Queensland Meat Export Company's new works at Lakes Creek installed freezing equipment in 1883, but was burnt down shortly after. Due to the fire, the company went into liquidation in 1885 and in 1886 the business was taken over by a Melbourne syndicate which included Andrew Rowan, George Fairbairn and John Living. It was managed by John Living and later by the Nelson Brothers. In 1901 London interests acquired CQME, registering it in London.
