Produce trader Cliff Blackburn of Dennis Butler Ltd, based in Hull’s wholesale market, has retired this week after an illustrious career spanning six decades.
Blackburn originally worked as a commission agent with customers nationwide before setting up CB Fruits with colleague Joe Saleh and, in 1998, joining Dennis Butler.
Dennis Butler’s Rob Darcy told FPJ: “The fruit trade has been at the heart of his working and social life, playing for both the Hull Fruit Trade’s football and cricket teams. We hold him in high regard and wish him a long and happy retirement.”
