The motion

That the Parliament celebrates the Associate of the Year 2025 Award given to the Dunfermline-based company, Cress Co, at the recent Farm Retail Association (FRA) Awards annual event in Birmingham, which celebrates excellence in farm retail and champions local food businesses, including farm shops, farmers’ markets and "pick your own"; understands that the business supplies fine food and drink to farm shops and independent retailers across the UK; notes that the national award recognises outstanding suppliers to farm shops, farmers' markets and other farm food businesses, and is judged by farm shop retailers themselves through customer testimonials and mystery shopper phone calls; acknowledges that the award recognises the business's reliable supply, strong relationships and genuine commitment to customers; understands that Cress Co operates from a 110,000 square-foot warehouse in Dunfermline, and a 15,000 square-foot chilled warehouse in Telford, with three other depots around the UK, and that deliveries to customers in Scotland and northern England are despatched from Dunfermline, and extends its very best wishes to everyone at Cress Co for continued success in the future.
