Inside food & drink manufacturing
Sector skills councils (SSCs), including Improve, which represents the food and drink sector, have come under a scathing attack by the head of the Meat Training Council (MTC) for not meeting the needs of the sectors they represent.
Scottish First Minister, Alex Salmond has opened a new £4M bottling facility at Tennent Caledonian’s Wellpark brewery in Glasgow that will enable the brewer to meet its export targets.
A total of nearly £3.5M was paid to Premier Food’s executives last year, with new md Michael Clarke receiving a golden hello payment of £1.94M upon joining the firm eight months ago.
