Rural Family Business of the Year Award for Mitchells
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates Mitchells in Inverurie in Aberdeenshire on winning the Small or Medium-sized Scottish Rural Family Business of the Year 2015 award at the Herald Scottish Family Business Awards; understands that the honour recognises the work of family businesses and the contribution that they make to their industries, their communities and the wider economy; notes that Mitchells has a grocery shop and tea room, known as “the Dairy” in the heart of Aberdeenshire, which was founded 87 years ago by Agnes and Elijah Mitchell and is now run by Keith Whyte and his wife, Judy, who is Agnes's and Elijah’s great-grandaughter; considers Mitchells a fine example of an independently owned shop specialising in local produce that thoroughly deserves this award, and wishes everyone involved every success for the future.
