Brakes Scotland launched with local produce focus
Abstract
Brakes has launched into the Scottish foodservice sector with a new business entirely focussed on promoting the best of Scottish produce.

Brakes Scotland will employ over 600 staff and have partnerships with more than 60 Scottish suppliers.

Operations director, John McLintock, said: “Scotland is home to some of the best quality ingredients in the world and one of its greatest assets is its rich natural larder full of high quality produce.

“At Brakes Scotland we realise there is increasing focus on the quality of what's on customers’ plates and an interest in the history and provenance behind the meal.

“Over the coming months we will be identifying new Scottish suppliers and focusing on creating a brilliant Scottish range that will provide our customers with the traceability and transparency they want and allow them to add value to their menus by emphasising the Scottish provenance of their offering.”

Brakes Scotland will have its own purchasing team based in Scotland and serve in excess of 11,000 customers via multi temperature distribution from Inverness, Oban, Dundee and a new facility in Newhouse.
