11/06/10…..Thame butchers is the best in Britain!

A Thame family butchers’ shop has reached the pinnacle of meat retailing, by receiving an award for being The Best British Butchers Shop 2010.

Tom Newitt and his father Michael, received their award at the prestigous 2010 Meat Management Industry Awards ceremony on Wednesday evening, 09/06/10. The guest of honour was the England World Cup goal keeper, Gordon Banks.

Tom Newitt, a founder business member of the ithame app, told Thamenews.net:
“It was a wonderfully enjoyable evening for both father and I. Although we knew we were in with a chance, it was great honour to receive the award.

“Its all down to the hard work and committment of both the family and our staff, and to the continued support of our customers. We can only succeed if we all work together.”

Tom’s father started the business in 1965, and now, in 2010, they employ 42 staff and supply meat to 80 branches of Budgeons, to Fortnum and Masons and to the National Trust.
