Cameron’s taking his butchery skills to the next level

Our fab butcher Cameron is studying for his Level 3 Advanced Butchery qualification at Bishop Burton College.

He will spend the next 18 months honing his knife skills and developing his knowledge of the craft/processing environment. He will also study for a Level 3 Award in Food Safety Supervision, Level 3 Award Health and Safety in the Food Supply Chain Business and Level 3 Award in HACCP.

Cameron was awarded the prestigious Nicholson Award for his exceptional performance during his Level 2 apprenticeship.
His college tutor, Michael Sword, said: “Cameron consistently showed a strong work ethic and dedication to both his apprenticeship and his butchery work at Cedarbarn. He is a deserving recipient of the Nicholson Award.”

The Nicholson Award is named after experienced butcher Paul Nicholson, who is a master skilled butcher and leads the apprenticeship team at Bishop Burton College.

Our head butcher, Patrick Donaghy, said: “Cameron is a well-liked and respected member of the team. He works hard to promote the fabulous cuts and specials that the butchery team prepare and is a real asset to our team. We wish him all the best for his Level 3 course.”

Our butchery is located in the farm where and is home to a team of seven who butcher and prepare home-reared beef and lamb and Yorkshire pork and poultry for the Farm Shop and Café.

Go smash it, Cameron!
