CWS has been holding "meet the buyer" events in Scotland as part of a bid to significantly increase the amount of Scottish products it sources. Events in Glasgow, held in conjunction with Scottish Enterprise's Food and Drink Team, and Inverness, organised by Highlands and Islands Enterprise, were attended by more than 100 suppliers. CWS business development manager John Sheen said: "There are a number of very good opportunities and we hope they will lead to some good contacts." Scottish Enterprise director of food and drink Jonathan Tait said: "CWS's willingness to focus on local supply for local markets is very encouraging, particularly for smaller producers, as it constitutes an ideal opportunity for them to break into the demanding retail market." {{NEWS }}
