The Scottish Wholesale Association (SWA) has called on First Minister Nicola Sturgeon to ensure that any new phase of financial support for the hospitality and tourism sectors includes food and drink wholesalers and other businesses in the hospitality supply chain.

Scottish Wholesale Association member Taylor Wholesale has spoken about its experiences when Covid-19 and lockdown hit the business, and how it lost nearly 80% of its business overnight.

Leading dairy group Lactalis UK & Ireland has joined the Scottish Wholesale Association as part of its strategy to strengthen its links with the wholesale sector in Scotland and build awareness of the branded cheddar market.
