25th March 2007
North Highland Products, owners of the expanding Mey Selections brand, have appointed the Royal Bank of Scotland as their commercial bankers.
Calum Dickson, office manager at North Highland Products, explained, "We have moved our banking to the Royal Bank of Scotland because it gives Mey Selections a local presence and the national support at corporate level that we need. It also puts a bit more business into the local economy as our account will be held in the Lybster branch of RBS. NHP's business is expanding fast and we need a bank that understands this and is committed to working with us to develop the agri-food chain in the North Highlands."
Commenting on their new customer, Christine Campbell, Manager, Commercial Banking at RBS said: "We are delighted to welcome Mey Selections as a customer of RBS. The quality of food produced by the farmers of Caithness is first-rate, and we look forward to helping the initiative grow and continue to profile the North Highlands of Scotland to an international audience."
