Andrew Rees the Butcher, winner of the prestigious 'Best Traditional
Retailer in Britain' award |
WEST Wales butchers Andrew
Rees and Sons were named Daily Telegraph Best Traditional
Business last week in the annual Rural Retailers of the Year
awards run by the Countryside Alliance.
Andrew, who has kept his shop in Narberth for 20 years,
was described by one of the judges as “not just a butcher,
but a one-man local food campaign”.
Countryside Alliance chief executive Simon Hart said Mr
Rees was “immensely modest”, but was carrying
on traditional skills in a modern setting and making huge
efforts to inform the next generation about the benefits
of local produce.
“He is also a firm favourite with his community, especially
the food producers he goes the extra mile to support,”
he said.
