Scottish Bakers has launched its own ‘manifesto’ ahead of the Scottish elections next month, outlining what it sees as the key issues in the sector.
With the Holyrood poll taking place on 6 May 2021, the trade body is calling on the incoming Scottish government to:
· Support growth across the sector which, according to Scottish Bakers, “needs time and access to support to recover fully from the impact of Covid”
· Continue to promote and fund apprenticeships to bring new entrants into the sector, allowing upskilling and productivity benefits to be realised
· Invest in low-carbon energy to help the sector transition and bring forward policies that support members in their move to reduce their environmental impacts without affecting operations
