Addy’s Butchers new shop extension boosts business
A new £160,000 extension that has doubled the retail area of West Yorkshire butcher J Brindon Addy’s shop in Hade Edge, near Holmfirth, is boosting business.
Beefing up the business. Brindon Addy is pictured centre with members of his butchers’ brigade in front of the newly extended shop.
Mr Addy reports that the project, undertaken during the award-winning shop’s landmark 21st anniversary year, has gone down well with both existing and new customers.
He comments: “ Business is running above the budget we predicted and one thing’s for certain – we have now changed from being a small butcher to a small food hall.”
The scheme has allowed Addy’s to both extend and more fecctively display its core meat-related and home-made ready-meal ranges, and also introduce new fresh and frozen food lines, such as fish, vegetables and ice creams.
“As a direct result, we are now supporting more local suppliers and producers, which provides a timely boost to the local economy,” adds Mr Addy.
He remains national chairman of the Butchers Q Guild, which represents over 100 elite butchers from the Scottish Highlands down to Cornwall.
