2023 Junction Awards Runner Up - Warkworth Butchery

Runner up this year is Warkworth Butchery, a local business committed to community and customer service.

Soon to be celebrating their 10th year in business, Warkworth Butchery is the Junction Awards runner up. A firm community favourite, owner Rob says, “The local and wider community here is amazing. I find we work closely with a lot of sports clubs sponsorship, selling stall holders merchandise in store, supplying local cafes and restaurants. Without each other there is no chance to network and grow. I feel Mahurangi is a big part of what makes the world go round.”

Passionate about butchery, Rob says ultimately the business thrives on recognition and complimentary chat from the customers as well as industry players, and his staff are known for their level of service. Both friendly and knowledgeable, he says the award is credit to them and their “one-hundred-percent genuine rapport with customers”.

Hindered only by the convenience of location, and the ever changing main-drag of Warkworth, the future plans are to continue to be a staple part of the street, striving to do more than the year before, and to continue to give back to the community and the trade via kids sports sponsorship, and offering apprenticeships.
