Hi.
After quite a bit
of spring cleaning at Butlers, we unveil our official new logo (seen at
the top of this email to you) – hope you like it! |
|
|
|
A
BIG thank you... |
|
...for all of your help with feedback on our new
packaging for Blacksticks. Delighted by just how many of you like
the new presentation, we’re introducing it as soon as possible –
starting with Blacksticks Blue in the next week or so. We can’t
wait! |
 |
| |
|
Having read your comments, we’ve changed a few
things too. Some were worried that we were increasing the amount
of packaging, but we have now cut the recyclable sleeves smaller
and reduced the thickness of the cardboard. We’ve also chosen some stronger colours for the
rest of the Blacksticks range and we should be able to show you
this next month. |
|
|
|
|
|
And the lucky winners are… |
|
We promised to send some cheese to three of you that
gave us feedback and have selected the following winners at random.
Many congratulations and we will be in touch shortly.

We would have loved to send cheese to ALL respondents
but if we did that we would be bankrupt! |

Tom Butler 1934 – 2010 |
 |
Very sadly, Tom Butler passed away peacefully at home on 23 April, aged
76. One of Richard
and Annie’s four sons, Tom married Jean and they both played a
significant part in developing the family dairy for many years. Gillian,
who plays a very active role in the management of Butlers today, is one
of Tom and Jean’s five children. Others remain actively involved in the
local farms that supply the dairy. |
| |
|
With a tremendous Lancashire character and great northern humour, Tom
remained passionate about farming and cheesemaking throughout his life,
latterly being involved in the rearing of heifers on Throstle Nest farm
with Jean. The Butler family will miss him greatly as will many in the
local community. |

Blue Skies smile on first ever Blacksticks Blue 10km run |
|
219 runners took to the roads around Beacon Fell near
Inglewhite dairy on Sunday May 9 in the first ever Blacksticks Blue
10K road race, raising funds for our local school and community. The
event was a huge success and we hope the first of many Blacksticks
Blue 10K’s in the future. Joining serious competitors from local
running clubs were many from the local community and of course from the
dairy - all receiving a commemorative wedge of Blacksticks Blue! |

|
Bronwen and her
creative team remain very busy at Butlers They just wanted to let you know
that they are hoping to launch some new delicious cheeses in the coming
months. Rest assured as a loyal supporter of Butlers you will be one of
the first to know. |
