Butchery business owner, Dan Crick, based at Lowe's Farm Shop, Middlewich has expanded his empire into the town where he now lives.

For many years, the 35-year-old lived and worked in Sandbach cutting his teeth at the former Will's Butchers in Sandbach Market before moving to an apprenticeship at Brooks butchers, now Bird's Traditional Butchers.

Dan went on to launch his own business, H Davidson, based at Lowe's Farm Shop in Moss Lane, Middlewich and has now launched a weekly offering in Alsager at the Wednesday market.

Dan's wife, Heather, takes the van packed with meat and vegetable offerings to the weekly market. The offering follows hot on the heels of the closure of Hall Farm Shop in the town which sold meat.

It sells an array of meat and vegetables all locally sourced in the area where the business is based. The products can be ordered on-line here and the business does home delivery.

The father-of-four, who used to live in Sandbach said: "We love the business and what we do. We're proud to have built up such a good following and have an on-line shop so people can order and then pick up from Alsager on Wednesdays.

"We know how little time many families have and aim to provide meat and sides which go together and can be cooked and ready on the table with as little fuss as possible."

He added: "We believe in honest service, trusted expertise, and creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere where our customers feel like part of the family.

" Our team is passionate about the craft of butchery and ensuring every cut we prepare meets the highest standards."

So good is H. Davidson's business that it is the Cheshire winner of the 'Best Butchers' 2025 England 's Business Awards.

Dan and his wife Heather now live in Alsager with their four children, a town Dan enjoys living in.

"We love taking the children to Milton Park and letting the young ones watch the wildlife on The Mere. It's such a great place to live."
