After many months of speculation and discussion, the Scottish Wholesale Association has formally begun the search for a new Chief Executive to replace long-standing boss Kate Salmon (pictured).
The post has been officially advertised with a salary of £50,000. To replace Salmon, the SWA is looking for “someone with political know-how, a strong understanding of what makes the food and drink sector tick and knowledge of the key movers and shakers in the industry”.
Salmon has been with the SWA for 35 years. Over the last decade she has transformed it into a household name, driving innovation in an array of directions, launching new events, building the lobbying arm and standing up for wholesalers and retailers across Scotland.
She was recognised with a Lifetime Achievement award at this year’s SLR Rewards.
