Craig Botting, Owner

Craig is a fourth generation butcher whose family has owned Botting's Butchery for over 85 years. He learned butchery from his Dad after school and started his apprenticeship at 15, before becoming a qualified butcher at 18. Craig enjoys the variety of work he does and has continued the traditions his Great Grandad started years ago.

Craig has been married to Tracey since 2002 and they have two children. In fact, that makes their daughter, Hannah, and son, Kurt, the fifth generation to help out in the shop after school. Craig plays indoor bowls in the winter, fishes in the summer and competes in hose running with the Balclutha Fire Brigade.
