Dutch term

loonslachter

Dutch to English Bus/Financial Law: Contract(s) name of a profession
I'm currently translating lists of economic activities (standaard bedrijfsindeling)

eg.
http://www.cbs.nl/nl-NL/menu/methoden/classificaties/overzic...
http://unstats.un.org/unsd/cr/registry/regcs.asp?Cl=27&Lg=1&...

One of the groupings is: Slachthuis, loonslachter en slachterij. I've got abbatoir and slaughterhouse for the first and last terms, but don't know how to translate loonslachter. All help very welcome.

TIA

Or: abbatoir contractor. Another option might be: slaughterhouse/abbatoir services provider.

Hi Kitty Thanks for this - it was the 'loon' bit that was the issue.
