Butchery changes hands

06th Aug 2024

Robert Sisson has this week gone from employee to becoming the boss of his own business. He has commenced ownership of Guyra’s only butcher shop, rebranding as Sisson Family Meats. Robert is no stranger to the business having worked with previous owner Cody Campbell for four years,
It is a big step for Robert at just 19 years of age, but he believes he is up for the challenge. Cody will be assisting in the transition why he learns the ropes, particularly the business side of things. He also has his mum Tania on board to assist him behind the scenes with the running of the shop.
There are no plans to make changes as he believes the shop is already in a good place to meet the needs of his customers. He believes that being the only butcher in town will keep him on his feet, and he is happy to welcome both old and new customers to the shop.
In his first week of business Robert has been encouraged by the support he has received. As well as his retail customers the butchery services a number of business customers in town as well as being the supplier to an Armidale restaurant, providing plenty of work for him and his three employees.
Among the challenges he will face is the current cost of living crisis. At the moment he has noticed that some customers are putting cheaper cuts such as mince and sausages at the top of the shopping list. Robert is happy to discuss bulk packages to suits your needs and to help keep costs down. Value added products and pre-prepared dishes are also popular and a good way of getting value for money.

Going strong for 100 years
