This is James.
When I met James he was a PT who had his own business.
A few years later, it just didn’t serve him anymore & he fell out of love with it.
He always had a massive passion for food but said to me he didn’t want to go all in, incase he lost that passion because it would just become a job…
But that worry was completely unfounded.
That passion has taken him further than he ever imagined.
Last night James won Scottish Craft Butchers Young Butcher Innovation Award using his creativity, passion & love for food as well as incorporating his very own product CraicLarder
A product that went live in June, and has since sold over 500 units with major events in the pipeline to take it to the next level.
Oh & this year he also became a beekeeper; stay tuned for Craic Honey 🐝
James doesn’t like anyone saying they are proud of him, so I won’t.
But I will say is, go and buy Craic Larder - support the dream, support small, because best believe that brand is going the distance 🖤
