This BQ2 Special Report, sponsored by Santander Corporate and Commercial Bank, takes a look at tourism and its supply chain, speaking to hoteliers about finance for refurbishment and the food and drink industry about the opportunities of the 2015 Year of Food and Drink.
Our BQ Live Debate, with industry leaders, throws up a number of interesting points with Dr Mike Cantlay, the chairman of VisitScotland, saying that the whole game for Scotland must be about sustained growth. Scotland’s hospitality industry is expected to increase its contribution to our GDP by 2020, so we really expect companies to show how they are going to grow. We hope this BQ Special Report provides plenty of food for thought – and for action.
