The Cook School at Braehead
Foods was delighted to be informed that they had been awarded a five
star rating by Visit Scotland's quality assurance team. This award
places us as an ‘exceptional and world class’ graded visitor
attraction.
Sandi Hellowell, VisitScotland’s Regional Director said:
“This is great news for East Ayrshire and Scotland as a whole and will
certainly add an extra dimension to the tourism offering in the area.
It is great to see businesses such as the Cook School at Braehead Foods
continue to invest in tourism which is crucial to the ongoing success
of the tourism industry in East Ayrshire and the wider area. This has
real potential to be a centrepiece attraction and all involved should
be commended on their efforts.”

Craig Stevenson Managing
Director of Kilmarnock based Braehead Foods has won the coveted Rural
Hero
Award at the prestigious Scottish Countryside Alliance Awards ceremony
held at Scottish Parliament, Holyrood on 11 February 2009.
To judge this competition the
Countryside Alliance split the UK into 13
geographical regions and picked a winner in each of the five categories
below. The Scottish Countryside Alliance Awards were judged by a
specialist panel led by Scottish Countryside Alliance Chief Executive
Geva Blackett. The panel picked an overall Scottish winner in each
category.
1. Best Local
Food Award
2. Best Village
Shop/ PO Award
3. Rural
Enterprise Award (formerly the diversification category)
4. Best
Traditional Business Award
5. Rural Hero
Rural Hero was a new award category
introduced for 2008 and the
organizers have confirmed that Craig was awarded the prize because he
goes ‘above and beyond’ the call of duty to promote or protect his
local community, sport or rural Scotland in general”. He has been
singled out particularly because of his passionate promotion of
Scottish game and the effect his efforts have had on the shooting
industry and on the whole rural Scotland. Organisers were quoted as
saying ‘Not only did Craig create an excellent reputation for his
company, but he also made his mark on the local area and beyond’.
Craig is delighted to have won
this award and will now go forward with
the other four Scottish category winners to the final where regional
winners from England, Northern Ireland and Wales will meet for a
reception at the House of Lords on 18 March 09 and the overall winner
will be chosen by a panel which will be chaired by Countryside Alliance
Chief Executive Simon Hart.

We have now moved into our new,
purpose-built 30,000 sq ft factory; 6 times the size of the previous
factory. It has a much larger stock holding capacity and a
new production kitchen allowing us to increase our product range,
bringing your kitchen a source of any bespoke products you may require.
As well as the production
kitchen, we are putting in a demonstration kitchen that will double up
as a cook school. We are currently looking for chefs willing
to come to Kilmarnock for the day to take classes of around 20 made up
of the general public. All chefs will be paid and this is an
excellent opportunity to promote your restaurant to a new
market. We plan to set aside a percentage of the money raised
from these sessions to pay for young chefs from across Scotland to
visit Braehead for 2 or 3 days to get a feel for the industry from the
suppliers’ perspective and will show them everything from game
processing to order processing. We also plan to invite our
suppliers to give demonstrations and take classes, and we would like to
give you the chance to become involved in this too.
We’re also building a restaurant
and a shop. The restaurant will exist to feed our neighbours
on the industrial estate and other close-by businesses between 6 am and
3 pm Monday to Friday, and the shop will sell everything from pots and
pans to pheasants.
Our ‘open doors’ policy for
customer visits remains however we have invited our suppliers of
specialist products to visit us during the last two weeks in April and
the first two weeks in May, to discuss their full product
range with you. This is a great opportunity to speak with the producers
face to face.
Please contact your sales
representative or Caroline at our office on caroline.sales@braeheadfoods.co.uk
to register your interest.
Thank you for your continued support.
Craig and everyone at Braehead Foods
