The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Alastair Dobson, Managing Director of Taste of Arran and Arran Dairies, on being presented the Marvin Benton Award, which is a lifetime achievement award, for services to the ice cream industry; understands that the award, which was presented by the sector's trade association, the Ice Cream Alliance (ICA), is in recognition of Mr Dobson's achievements during his 23-year career in the sector and is the highest honour that the ICA can bestow; further understands that Arran Dairies use only milk and cream from the island’s own dairy herds to hand-produce Italian style ice cream, which is free from artificial flavouring or colouring; acknowledges what it sees as the skill and dedication of the team at Arran Dairies, and its passion for quality local produce; commends Arran born Mr Dobson’s commitment to supporting not just the ice cream industry, but to promoting the fantastic array of quality food and drink produced on Arran, and encourages everyone who has not already done so, to try the award-winning Arran Ice Cream.
