Taylor’s Fish and Chips
“We are very proud to make the Skills Pledge today. We know the value of training our employees and see what a positive difference it can make to them and to us. Our family ties date back to the 1920s, when my great grandmother had a fish and chip shop in Birdwell, Barnsley, and with solid training we hope to continue providing a service to local people for many years to come.” Anne Wallace Proprietor
