‘Sector can deliver success after Brexit’

As part of this year’s event, The Scotsman will also be hosting our hugely successful food and drink conference on the day of our awards at the EICC, with chair Stephen Jardine, Scotland Food and Drink’s James Withers and a host of excellent speakers looking at how the thriving sector can face the challenges provided by Brexit and discuss how it can deliver success after the UK leaves the EU.

You’ll hear from some of the industry’s most influential and inspiring figures such as Karen Betts, chief executive of the SWA - which will be sponsoring the event - Julie Heskethlaird, chief executive of Scottish Salmon Producers Organisation, and Jim Mclaren, chair of Quality Meat Scotland, discussing how we can future-proof a sector which is worth £15 billion annually to Scotland.
