Hitchin's popular Keith Jones Butchers has been shortlisted for a prestigious award - and needs YOUR help to seal victory!

Master butcher Keith and his team are well-known in our community for gong the extra mile to provide top quality food for punters.

Keith's shop on Redhill Road is always busy with Hitchinites snapping up succulent meat - which is testament to his hard work.

His talents haven't gone unnoticed further afield after his shop found itself nominated for The Family Business of The Year Awards 2021.

Busy Keith posted on his popular Facebook page: "What a start to the new year - we have been shortlisted for family business of the year."

Each year amazing family businesses across the UK are crowned as part of the Family Business of the Year Awards.

Titles are awarded regionally, by sector and for a number of national awards.

These are all determined by a panel of judges that comprise family business leaders, professional advisers with a family business specialism and previous winners.

In addition to the titles awarded by the judges, there is a 'People's Choice' category, determined by the public.

These regional titles, and an overall national winner, are eagerly contested and each year we crown some great family firms as the winners of the public vote.

The shortlist is out and the family firms in the running for the London & South East Family Business of the Year 2021 are listed below - including Keith!

So, we are calling on as many people as possible in Hitchin and our surrounding areas to vote for Keith to see him crowned the 2021 People's Choice Award

Please note you can vote for more than one of the shortlisted firms but only one form is accepted per email address.

The winners of the regional and national title will be announced during the gala awards ceremony in June.
