SUMMARY:Why highlighting Scottish Provenance matters? New 2023 Research highlights
DESCRIPTION:The Knowledge Bank is delighted to share the new wave of our Scottish Provenance Consumer research which took place in July 2023 (quantitative survey) and August 2023 (consumer video interviews which we have never done before!). \nThis research re-asserts the importance of Provenance for consumers\, how this stacks up against a background of cost of living crisis and how it varies by category. We’ll also share which brands and retailers are more associated with Scottish Provenance and what Scottish Food & Drink businesses can do to tap this. We’ve also explored new areas such as regional perception of Scottish food & drink. \nAnne-Laure Farrar\, UK market insight manager at The Knowledge Bank will then be joined by a wonderful panel with incredible combined experience hailing from small and big Scottish businesses and retailers. \nOur first panellist is Steve Wallace who has a very varied experience\, from Sainsbury’s and Waitrose buying roles to supporting Scottish brands develop. Steve also has a unique perspective on Scottish Provenance as he helped The Knowledge Bank with exploring the retail landscape and capturing the different retailers’ initiatives on Scottish provenance. He will share with us practical tips on how to use the research in different settings such as a retailer pitch. \nOur second panellist is Suzie Carlaw\, Brand Marketing Controller at Highland Spring with past experiences at Border and Quality Meat Scotland. Our third panellist is another Suzie\, Suzie Millar\, co-founder of the Scottish Bee Company but also keen podcaster. She recently launched the Love your local larder podcast which shares the rich stories of small producers throughout Scotland and beyond. \nRegistration link now active.

SUMMARY:Focus on Convenience Retail
DESCRIPTION:The Convenience market in Scotland is an important channel and part of the overall retail landscape and has always had a greater share of spend than in other regions of GB. In recent times we have seen the development of the channel with the arrival of the major mults but the core of the channel still exists with independent retailers and convenience chains anchoring the sector. \nWith expertise from IGD\, The Knowledge Bank will take a look at the channel in Scotland and compare and contrast it to the rest of the UK looking at its scope and structure\, the strategic importance of getting the right range and product to meet shopper needs and missions\, the role of small store dynamics and the importance of category mix.  We’ll also take a look at the route to market and what the implications and opportunities are to succeed in this channel. \nAlong with Patrick Mitchell-Fox from IGD we’ll also hear from Jamie Buchanan from the Scottish Grocers Federation who will provide a first hand account of Scottish convenience retailing in action.
