Scotland Food & Drink has appointed two new members to the organisation’s Board, Keith Whyte of Mitchells (Inverurie) and Rachel Ross of Loch Melfort Hotel (Oban).
As partner of family-run independent retailer Mitchells, Whyte has a broad range of experience and a background in agricultural management. Ross brings her experience in food logistics and hospitality as well as time spent working in foodservice for Sodexo UK.
Scotland Food & Drink Board Chair David Kilshaw commented: “I welcome the appointment of Rachel and Keith to the Board at an exciting time in our industry’s development. They bring a wealth of experience and knowledge across tourism, foodservice, agricultural production and retail with their respective backgrounds. It will be invaluable to have the contribution of an independent retailer feeding in to discussions and the link to tourism is important when we’re deepening the ever closer relationship between the food and tourism industries.”
