April Awards

Posted on April 23, 2013 by The Butcher

The month of April has seen our awesome team at The Butchershop be recognised for their hard work and consistent approach. We’ve not only won the Scottish Variety Award 2013 Best Scottish Venue, but also took home the gold for Bar Personality of The Year at the BII Awards 2013 thanks to our very own effervescent owner, Mr James Rusk.

We could not be more proud of all our achievements and none of the awards would have been possible without the whole team pulling together and striving for excellence. A huge thanks go to all of our staff, suppliers, customers and colleagues who have supported us in our love for the best Scottish beef.

We’re fundraising for Movember as one of our great friends and long-term staff members, Jehad Hatu, was suddenly diagnosed with Stage 3 testicular cancer at the age of 24, in April of this year. The survival rate is 50-90%, although Jehad was put on the lower range of those numbers because the disease had spread so extensively through his body. Thankfully his treatment is going really well and along with his positive outlook and a long list of doctors, surgeons, nurses, health practitioners, and the support of his family and friends he is working towards making an excellent recovery.
