W & J Curley, Cambuslang – August 2011

Damien Curley along with his son, Graeme continue the business started by Damien's grandfather in 1920. They are ably assisted by Peter Reid who has worked with them for 22 years.

You don't need to stop too long to realise that the butchers' shop is at the hub of the local community. Incredibly popular guys, Damien, Graeme and Peter are the central characters as they meet and greet everyone. Full of charm and charisma this South Lanarkshire shop knows all about customer care. That's not only for those who come in their door but the cheerful threesome keep a watchful eye over everything that goes on outside it as well!

Well known Halfway people include boxer Scott Harrison, a World Featherweight champion, Davie Wilson, former Rangers and Scotland left winger and that other well know left winger, Mick McGahey union leader of the National Union of Mineworkers but some feel that these three butchers are nearly as important.

Everybody is recognised and called by their first name. Visitors to the shop do not even need to be purchasing. Whether its recipe ideas, local news or even golfing tips
Damien is extremely willing to help and proves to be very knowledgeable.
