Lovely bit of news to share.
George & Joseph has been featured in the Yorkshire Evening Post as part of UK Small Business Week.
The article talks a bit about how I swapped the boardroom for the cheeseboard, why I started the shop, and why small independent businesses still matter so much to places like Chapel Allerton.
Running a small business is brilliant, exhausting, rewarding, stressful, and occasionally completely ridiculous — often all in the same day. But we’re still here, still cutting proper cheese, still championing brilliant cheesemakers, and still incredibly grateful to everyone who chooses to shop with us.
To celebrate Small Business Week, we’re running a little thank you offer:
Spend £15 or more on cheese, in the shop or online, and we’ll give you a free box of Peter’s Yard Sourdough Crackers.
Offer runs until midnight Sunday, while stocks last.
Thanks as ever for supporting our little cheese shop. It really does make a difference.
