Scotland's Wholesale Food and Drink Sector

That the Parliament recognises what it sees as the importance of the wholesale food and drink sector; understands that, in Scotland, this industry directly employs 6,300 people and contributes £2.9 billion to the economy; welcomes the Scottish Wholesale Association's prestigious Achievers Awards, which, each year, celebrate professionalism and excellence among wholesalers and suppliers; congratulates all of the winners at the recent 2019 awards, including JW Filshill, which fought off stiff competition to claim the Champion of Champions title, and the Newbridge-based Bidfood Scotland, which won both the Great Place to Work and the Best Delivered Operation (Foodservice) categories, and sends its best wishes to all of the winners and nominees.
