This is his second medal at national level and follows the bronze award which he won at the WorldSkillsUK finals in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>He has now moved up to international level and will represent Team GB in the apprentice category at the World Butchers Challenge in California, USA, next September.<\/p>\n<p>Jason said: \u201cI really enjoyed this year\u2019s WorldSkills UK butchery finals. Winning the gold medal was unexpected but amazing, particularly as the standard was so high. Both the 2019 and 2021 competitions have been valuable learning experiences and have given me skills and creative ideas to take forward to the World Butchers\u2019 Challenge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cButchery is a great career for young people, particularly if you like being active and creating things with your hands. There are also a lot of opportunities for progression. I\u2019d like to thanks my bosses at Littlers Butchers and my Reaseheath trainers for all their support, particularly on the more technical aspects of butchery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WorldSkills UK is the nation\u2019s largest celebration of vocational skills training and showcases the technical expertise and professionalism required by apprentices.\u00a0 The \u2018Olympic style\u2019 competition features more than 60 skills and contestants must demonstrate the UK and international standards required by their particular industry.<\/p>\n<p>The finals are normally held at the NEC, Birmingham, but this year were awarded to specialist regional centres due to the challenges posed by Covid-19. Reaseheath\u2019s industry standard butchery facilities were selected as the venue for the butchery finals and the competition was facilitated by WorldSkills UK organising partner Cambrian Training.<\/p>\n<p>The seven finalists included a second Reaseheath Level 2 butchery apprentice, Richard Silverman from The Lambing Shed Farm Shop, Knutsford. The contestants completed two days of intense competition during which they were marked for innovation, creativity, precision, presentation, work ethic and a structured method of approach along with safe and hygienic working practice.<\/p>\n<p>The competition was supported throughout by Reaseheath\u2019s Master Butcher Gary Evans, Commercial Development Co-ordinator Julie Bent, Food Technologist Penny Masters and the team of food technicians and engineers who are based at Reaseheath\u2019s Food Centre.<\/p>\n<p>We also provided a popular live streaming service which was accessed by a nationwide audience.<\/p>\n<p>Gary said: \u201cI was very proud and delighted that Jason\u2019s talents have been recognised for the second time by WorldSkillsUK.\u00a0 His attitude is very mature and his innovation, craft skills and time management are excellent. I\u2019m excited to see how he progresses at international level and think he has a great future ahead of him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Richard Silverman is a former personal trainer who requalified as a butcher after relocating from London to Manchester. He has recently been appointed to departmental manager.<\/p>\n<p>He commented: \u201cThe WorldSkills UK finals was a good experience. It was a great opportunity to network and learn what is happening in the industry and I was inspired by the range of products which were produced during the competition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ben Tindale (G. Shearer &amp; Son Butchers, Lincolnshire) was awarded the silver medal and Ben Roberts (M. E. Evans Traditional Butchers, Overton on Dee) took bronze. The other finalists were Codie Jo Carr (Emersons Supermarket, Armagh); Ethan Hubbard (G. Shearer &amp; Son Butchers, Lincolnshire) and Jonah Clarke (M &amp; W Farm Meats, Portadown)<\/p>\n<p>Keith Fisher (Chief Executive, Institute of Meat), Roger Kelsey (Former Chief Executive, National Craft Butchers) and independent consultant Viv Harvey judged the finals.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='avia-video av-kwq7l3kf-450dd98665f77b586f32a29d607d576a avia-video-16-9
