Farmsion relaunches Ripon butchers shop
Premium meat retailer Farmison & Co relaunched its butchers shop in Ripon today.
Cut by Farmison, which is based at the firm's headquarters on Bondgate Green, is now open every day of the week except Sundays from 9am to 6pm.
It previously opened on fewer days until 4pm.
The relaunch marked the latest phase in the company's recovery since it was rescued from administration in April by a consortium led by ex-Asda chief executive Andy Clarke and Chilli Marketing owner Gareth Whittle.

Farmison also announced today it had reached an agreement to supply Harrods in London.
It has also entered the fish market through a partnership with online seafood business Fish for Thought.
It hopes the move to extend the opening hours of its Ripon shop will attract more shoppers from the city and nearby places such as Harrogate who are attracted to the company's free range, grass-fed approach to butchery.
Farmison also plans to open more shops nationally to diversify from its online model, which currently accounts for 92% of its business.
