Last month, our team joined NHS Grampian at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for a tasting day showcasing a range of products, with a focus on Scottish produce alongside options offering reduced sugar, salt and fat.

Our Development Chef Michael Croy was on hand serving up venison chilli, sweet & sour venison bao buns, and a rocky road traybake made using Macphie’s reduced sugar muffin cake mix 👨‍🍳

The venison was supplied by Campbells Prime Meat Ltd, who also joined us on the day, alongside suppliers Downies, Thompson's Tea, Quorn, Mackie's Ice Cream & Chocolate, McCain UK IE and Brose Oats.

It was great to see such a fantastic turnout, with NHS staff and hospital visitors stopping by throughout the day to discover and sample the different products.

Last week, members of our field sales team joined their customers at the POETS Lunch, hosted at Doubletree by Hilton Glasgow Central, for a fantastic afternoon of live pop acts, fantastic food and fundraising for Hospitality Industry Trust Scotland 🎉

Paul Ritchie, Amanda Haining, Marilees Cameron and Iain Geddie attended from Brakes Scotland, alongside customers from Kloud Concept , Mini Grill Scottish Steakhouse and WonderWorld Soft Play Glasgow.

Brakes Scotland was delighted to donate ingredients for the lunch, catering for an incredible 650 guests, while 20 young people from Hub International took on their very first shift, helping with the cooking alongside seven supportive hospitality tutors 👨‍🍳

There was plenty of entertainment along the way too, including Ray Quinn and headliner Peter Andre, before the celebrations continued into the after party! 🎶

The fundraising continued throughout the afternoon, with Natasha Raskin Sharp bringing her auctioneering skills to the stage, helping contribute to a record-breaking £103,000 raised for HIT Scotland’s scholarship and leadership programmes.

In August, we welcomed three talented chefs to our Newhouse development kitchen for the Hospitality Industry Trust Scotland Building Blocks of Patisserie Scholarship, hosted by our Development Chef Michael Croy 👨‍🍳

Over the course of two days, the chefs got hands-on with the fundamentals of patisserie, developing their skills and knowledge through the workshop.

We were delighted to support the scholarship alongside Hub International, helping to provide the facilities and produce needed to bring the workshop to life.

It was a pleasure to welcome everyone to Newhouse and play a part in supporting the development of Scotland’s hospitality talent.
