Introducing the Scottish Retail Food & Drink Awards
The Scottish Retail Food & Drink Awards were created last year with a very specific and simple goal: to get more Scottish food and drink products onto more shelves.
The Awards are unique in encompassing the entire spectrum of producers and retailers in Scotland, from the very smallest artisan business to the very largest retailers – and everything in between.
The Scottish Retail Food & Drink Awards aim to bring producers who are keen to secure new listings together with the growing body of retailers seeking to enhance their ranges with locally, regionally and nationally produced food and drink products.
Meet the SRFDA team
The Scottish Retail Food & Drink Awards were launched by Lyons Media and 55 North. Lyons Media is run by Helen Lyons, who formerly ran the Quality Food Awards while 55 North is a media house run by Antony Begley which produces a range of print magazines and digital platforms for the Scottish and UK food and drink retail sector.
