Why Respect Matters in Butchery
At Peter Bouchier, respect isn’t just a nice idea. It’s how we work, every day. It shapes the way we treat our customers, the way we care for our products, and the way we look after each other as a team.
Respect for the product
Every cut of meat has a story before it reaches our hands. Farmers have invested time and care into raising animals well. Transporters and processors have played their part. By the time it arrives at our stores or production facility, it’s already been through a journey that deserves acknowledgment.
That’s why we handle every product with care. We store it correctly, work with precision, and minimise waste wherever we can. If we can give customers advice that helps them cook it perfectly at home, we do - because the respect doesn’t end when it leaves our counter.
Respect for our customers
Without our customers, there’s no Peter Bouchier. We don’t take that for granted. Respect means listening carefully, being honest about our recommendations, and making every interaction a positive one. Whether someone is shopping for a family roast or just needs a few sausages for dinner, they should leave feeling confident they’ve made the right choice.
Respect for our team
A respectful workplace is one where ideas are encouraged, differences are valued, and everyone feels safe to speak up. In our stores and production facility, we look out for each other and keep our spaces clean, organised, and safe. That respect shows in the quality of our work and the way we serve customers.
Respect for the environment
We know resources are finite, and it’s on us to reduce waste where we can. From careful cutting to thoughtful packaging, we aim to make responsible choices that benefit both our customers and the planet.
Respect for the environment also means taking care of our own spaces. Keeping our stores, counters, and production areas clean, safe, and well-organised. A well-maintained workplace protects the product, supports our team, and ensures customers can shop with confidence.
What this means for you
When you shop with Peter Bouchier, you can trust that your meat has been handled with care from start to finish, that you’ll be treated with honesty and attention, and that every choice we make honours the product, our team, and you as the customer.
