Yorkshire family butcher gets prime city centre spot

Family owned business Ramshaw Butchery and Deli has opened its first Leeds shop in the centre of the city.

Owned by husband and wife team Jason and Charlotte Pritchard, the new shop in the city’s Merrion Centre marks the fourth Ramshaw opening in the region.

Charlotte Pritchard, owner of Ramshaw, said: “We’re thrilled to be opening our first shop in Leeds city centre and to become part of the historic Merrion Centre, which continues to attract a strong local customer base.”

With the city centre shop officially opened earlier this week (April 15), Ramshaw has created six new full-time jobs.

Vanessa McIntosh, asset manager at Town Centre Securities (owner of the Merrion Centre) added: “We have always been a champion of local businesses and are delighted to welcome Ramshaw Yorkshire Butchery to The Merrion Centre.

“The benefits of fresh produce and known provenance have wide benefits across our community, economy and environment, and we are delighted to be able to bring a local butcher back to the high street.”
