National recognition for curry entrepreneur
A MOVE to Todmorden market has proved a great success for one local businessman as he scoops a top place in a national market traders' contest.
Jeff Thomson started a new career in the world of curry last year in his home town Burnley. But earlier this year he re-located his business, Curried away, to Todmorden and has never looked back.
He has been named highly commended finalist in the Make Your Mark in the Markets 2010 competition, putting him in the top three of business growth market traders in the UK. Curried away specailises in traditional Punjabi-style curries and trades every Friday and Saturday at Todmorden where Jeff says the traditional community-style market is proving a real winner for his business.
A former journalist and public relations consultant, Jeff started his new venture last year in Burnley indoor market. But he re-located and has now earned recognition nationally through the Make Your Mark in the Markets competition run by Enterprise UK and supported by the National Market Traders Federation.
