Former butcher helps with Christmas rush at family business

Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 24 Oct, 06:01 · Archive

Andy Crump is coming out of retirement to help with Christmas orders at JGK Butchers and Delicatessen in Royal Wootton Bassett. The shop was formerly Crump Butchers, founded in 1985 by Andy's parents Keith and Jean Crump.

James Keen, who now runs the business, first started working at Crumps 20 years ago as a 14-year-old schoolboy. This will be JGK's third Christmas since Keen took over the shop.

Keen said: 'It's an honour to be continuing the great work of my friend and mentor, Andy Crump, as we come up to our third Christmas since we took over Crump Butchers.' He added: 'It's still a pleasure to have Mr C here with us helping out with deliveries and continuing to build the family business that his father, Keith, and mother, Jean, founded here in Royal Wootton Bassett way back in 1985.'

Christmas orders at JGK can be placed in-store from November 2 or online via the company's website.
