Get voting to help Hitchin's outstanding Keith Jones Butchers win a prestigious award!

Keith's Redhill Road shop is always busy with punters buying his top quality meat.

Master butcher Keith and his hard-working team are renowned in Hitchin and surrounding areas for their helpfulness and advice for customers.

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

As good-natured Keith told Nub News when we popped into his shop: "I'll always go the extra mile for my customers. Because they go the extra mile for me.

"They open the doors for me. Because without my customers I'd have no business. I'm grateful to them, not the other way around. It's part and parcel of what I do. I'm never grumpy, either!"

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.
