As part of a Year of Young People, FDF Scotland’s Parliamentary Reception
will celebrate the talented young people who are working in Scotland’s
food and drink sector and their contribution to the success of the industry.
This event will be kindly sponsored by John Scott MSP.
The whole food and drink industry makes a massive contribution to the economy,
with an annual turnover of over £14bn but without the people that work in
food and drink, the industry wouldn’t be the success it is today. However
there is a skills gap especially in science, technology, and engineering roles
and we need more talented recruits to meet our ambition to grow the industry
turnover to £30bn by 2030.
Some of food and drink’s young talent will share their stories on the
evening on why they joined the sector and why they are passionate about it. Our
members will be at the event to showcase their products and the opportunity for
careers in creating these products and getting them to market.
Join us to discuss how we inspire the next generation to consider a career in
food and drink.
