Ten butchers from across the UK have been crowned best in class at this year’s Smithfield Awards.
It was with great sadness we learned of the death earlier this week of Q Guild founding member David Lidgate - a truly inspirational gentleman, known and respected throughout our industry. Our sincere condolences to the Lidgate family. Below is a transcript of the announcement from the family business C. Lidgate website written by David's son, Danny Lidgate.
As part of an apprentice exchange programme, Q Guild have teamed up with world-renowned EFMA college in France's Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region with the objective of enhancing the skills and broadening the knowledge and experience of EFMA and Q Guild apprentices alike. Q Guild apprentices play host for the first week and are, in turn, hosted by their French counterparts the following week.
Our quality butchers are award-winning, leading experts in their field. Quality, passion and craft skills run through their veins. The Q Guild brand is a seal of quality and excellence.
