Jill Franklin, Manager, says: "RSM's Lerwick office has been a terrific support to us throughout the busy launch period of Shetland Food and Drink. They guided us through all aspects of setting up, including the right structure for us to have, appointing Directors, VAT registration and processing, setting up the right financial processes and everything in between. They have such a wealth of experience in the food and drink sector, particularly in Shetland, that we were sure they were the right partner for us. It's terrific to be working with them for another year. We really value their support and input."
Irene Hambleton, Partner, adds: "Shetland Food and Drink has grown from a standing start to having over 50 members in just four months – which is testimony to lots of hard work and the thriving food and drink sector here on Shetland. It's been great to see how things have developed and be part of that growth. We are not only passionate about local produce, but we are keen to support businesses and the people behind them to ensure they achieve their strategic goals.
"We are delighted to be working with Shetland Food and Drink for another year, helping them create a firm foundation for their operations and supporting them in their ambition to promote Shetland's food and drink as widely as possible."
