Butcher
There are in the region of 7,500 retail butchers and 600 specialist-catering butchers in Britain today. The number of retail butchers has dropped dramatically over the last 30 years as supermarkets have come to dominate meat sales. However independents have enjoyed something of a revival of fortunes in the last couple of years as shoppers have become increasingly aware of health issues, and have wanted assurances over traceability and quality of meat.
