We're working with The Scottish Wholesale Association (SWA) and the Scottish Agricultural Organisation Society (SAOS) once again to bring you a ‘Delivering Growth Through Wholesale' programme.
The wholesale market in Scotland is worth £3.3bn and supplies 5,000 convenience stores, 30,000 hospitality, tourism and leisure venues, as well as public sector schools, hospitals and prisons.
This programme is designed to equip local producers with the insight and strategies needed to successfully navigate the wholesale channel and engage producers on the opportunities in the Scottish market. It is open to producers already supplying wholesale, as well as those looking to explore this as a new market.
The training consists of two half-day on-line workshops, followed by bespoke one-to-one support.
What will I get from the programme?
- Two half-day online workshops
- Follow up one-to-one mentoring tailored to the needs of your business
- 'Supplier Manual' and a 'Self-audit checklist' designed to identify gaps and help support your approach
