Connect Local, the Scottish Government's Local Food and Drink Marketing Advisory Service, is delighted to offer two distinct workshops designed to help food producers build their business for profitable growth.

The workshops will take you through what you need to know to market your business and product effectively. Ensuring your business basics are right will enable you to pitch successfully to potential new customers.

Workshop 1: Upskilling & Upscaling
Topics covered include: Knowing your market; branding and product development; distribution and meeting and manging expectations.

The workshops culminate in an opportunity to present your company and products to local and regional buyers at any of the Showcasing Scotland regional evets organised by Scotland Food & Drink. The next regional event will take place in Edinburgh on 19 March 2019.

These are 2 separate day workshops however, attendance at both days is encouraged to gain most benefit.
