Scotland has some of the best food and drink in the world. Our whisky is the
stuff of legend, Scottish seafood is a global delicacy and innovative
manufacturers
are transforming traditional produce into contemporary products.
Last year food and drink exports hit a record £5.4 billion. One in five people
in manufacturing currently work in the sector. If Scottish Companies are to
continue to succeed internationally and at home, they need to continue to
innovate -
they also need the support mechanisms in place to help them succeed.
On 5 September, Scotsman Conferences, in association with Taste Communications
will host a conference which will examine the challenges and opportunities
facing
the industry.
The conference will hear from a range of industry experts, with the keynote
address by Richard Lochhead MSP, the Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs and
Environment.
Confirmed speakers include:
James Withers, Chief Executive, Scotland Food & Drink
Maggie McGinlay, Food and Drink Director, Scottish Enterprise
Graham Blair, Area Director for North Scotland, Lloyds TSB
Robert Graham, Chief Executive of Graham Dairies
David Whiteford, Chairman, Scottish Food and Drink Hub
Tony Stone, Managing Director, Stoats Porridge Bars
Neil Boyd, Commercial Director, Ian Macleod Distillers
