A young employee of a leading north-east butchery firm has scooped another prestigious industry award.
Andrew Peter, of Davidsons Specialist Butchers, has been named as the UK Young Butcher of the Year at the Plaisterers’ Hall in London. The award was presented as part of the annual Butcher’s Shop of the Year Awards organised by Meat Trades Journal.
Andrew is the current holder of the SFMTA Young Butcher of the Year accolade and demonstrated his skills at this year’s Royal Highland Show.
Davidsons Specialist Butchers – which operates from three locations in Aberdeen and Inverurie, Aberdeenshire – was also a finalist in the New Butchery Business of the Year in recognition of the McCombie’s Court shop in Aberdeen city centre which opened earlier this year.
Commenting on the company’s ongoing success on the awards circuit, John Davidson said: “Although we are fortunate to be familiar with the awards circuit, every win is very special and a tremendous achievement for all involved.
“We are particularly proud of young Andrew’s success; his talent and passion for the industry is unsurpassed and he is a valued member of the team. We look forward to supporting him as he furthers his career.”
