Shop hires Island's first apprentice butcher since 2013
A new business hopes hiring the first apprentice butcher through a government-backed scheme on the Island since 2013 will 'start a resurgence' in the trade.
Manx Local Butchers opened in the former Pulrose Post Office building in June, and has hired 17-year-old Robert Fair to learn the profession.
The shop stocks mostly Manx produce, including vegetables and eggs, along with local meat.
Owner Craig Carroll says there hasn't been a big demand for trainee butchers in recent, but hopes that's about to change:
Strike off process against companies with out-of-date information starts
Payroll firm reprimanded after thousands of personal records discovered in abandoned shredding bins
Local food van 'disappointed' not to be visiting Castletown after offering 42 dates
Concern in Northern Ireland over fishing visas
