A BROMSGROVE High Street butcher has been shortlisted for an award.

Michelle Holsey, co-owner, and head butcher at Butcher’s Block has made the shortlist for best ‘Independent Retailer’ at this year’s Women in Meat Awards.

This is the second time Butcher’s Block has been nominated for an award but is Michelle’s biggest recognition to date.

Michelle said: "When Lilith showed me the email confirming being shortlisted, I couldn't believe it.

"After over 20 years in the industry, this came as a bit of a surprise and I want to thank everyone who has nominated me.

"To be in with a chance of her making the final selection, we need the community to vote for Michelle.
