Business Owner
I represent the third generation of the Brown family to own and run The Arcadia, having taken over from my father four years ago.I have worked in the shop since I was 12 years old. The delicatessen business is in my blood and I am passionate about bringing the finest quality food from home and abroad to the local Northern Ireland marketplace. I aim to engender the same attention to detail and passion in all members of staff. We take everything personally and strive to make the business the best it can be!
