The Mey Selections brand has scooped two awards at the premier Scotland Food & Drink Excellence Awards 2008. The two awards are; best example of Collaboration in Supply Chain and Best Range of Conserves and Preserves.
Tracy Waters, Business Development Manager and Danny Miller, Chairman of Mey Selections, were congratulated by Alex Salmond, First Minister of the Scottish Government on the double awards received by North Highland Products Ltd. against tough competition.
The Collaboration in Supply Chain Award recognised the value and unique benefits brought about by the way Mey Selections collaborates with all its producers allowing Mey Selections to deliver its vision of bringing the natural goodness of the North Highlands. The collaborative approach extends right across the supply chain; with abattoirs in Orkney, Dornoch, Inverurie and Elgin, with 5 distilleries, almost a dozen fine food producers right across the territory, and with almost 400 farmers, is unique.
The winning of the Conserves and Preserves Award was secured by the unique recipes, exceptional flavour and wide variety of preserves and chutneys within the Mey Selections range. These were developed from recipes used by Su and Ruari Gillies at their small family business, Gillies Fine Foods in Dingwall. Three honeys produced by the Robertson family at Struan Apiaries in Conon Bridge were also part of the range. NHP Ltd. worked alongside the Gillies and the Robertsons and used professional chefs and tasters for sampling and developing products from existing recipes.
