PECKHAM’S, the Glasgow delicatessen, has taken on four new Scottish suppliers as part of a drive by to support local producers.
The four were all exhibitors at Scotland’s Speciality Food Show held in Glasgow at the end of January and have now secured contracts with Peckham’s two Glasgow shops.
Deals are in place with three businesses in Glasgow: plant based cake producer Rawnchy, healthy chocolate maker Rebel Chocolate and Hawkhead Kitchen, for its whisky smoked cashew nuts. A further contract has been given to Jarvis Pickle, an Eyemouth-based handcrafted pie maker.
Peckham’s joint owner, Andrew Duncan, said: “We took over the business last year and part of our strategy to refresh it was to overhaul our suppliers and to support as many local producers as possible.”
Mr Duncan, who founded mobile and web technology business SwarmOnline, bought over Peckham’s with food and drink veteran Lee Fish in June 2017, promising to revitalise stock lines.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
