Visiting Russian buyers were introduced to the full Mey Selections range at the 'Meet the Russian Buyers' event, held last week at Culloden House Hotel, Inverness. The event, organised by Scottish Development International, brought together buyers from six Russian companies looking to source quality Scottish food and drink products.
Mey Selections, a company actively seeking export opportunities, was on hand to introduce the visitors to the quality and delights of North Highlands produce. Dr. John Strak Managing Director of Mey Selections and Tracy Waters, Business Development Manager presented the visiting Russians with gifts including Mey Selections Barrogill Whisky and Mey Selections shortbread. They were also able to speed communication by
giving the buyers a Russian translation of the Mey Selections brochure.
Commenting on the success of the evening, Dr John Strak said: "The event was very positive for Mey Selections. The Russian Buyers were keen to learn more, and crucially, to see more of our products in Russia. We expect to see Mey Selections beef, lamb, seafood, bakery products and conserves on the shelves of upmarket Moscow stores, and on the tables of premium Moscow Restaurants before the end of 2008"
This new relationship with Russia is a tribute to the way in which Mey Selections actively looks for new export markets, ensuring the popularity and demand for North Highland produce continues to grow.
