Our Organisation

SFDF consists of an Executive Committee made up of senior industry representatives, a Members' Forum and a Suppliers' Forum.

The Members' Forum represents an opportunity for members to have direct input to discussions on key issues affecting the industry. SFDF positions are developed through industry-wide consultation and discussions in this forum.

The Suppliers' Forum is a platform for constructive dialogue with food service, retail and wholesale sectors.

SFDF is a devolved division of the Food and Drink Federation (FDF). SFDF has three elected officers who work together to advise and support SFDF on a broad range of issues and activities.

Members' Forum

SFDF positions are developed following industry-wide consultation and agreed within the Members' Forum. The purpose of the Members' Forum is to ensure members:

  • are given the opportunity to have direct input to discussions on key issues affecting the industry;
  • are briefed on developments affecting how they conduct their business; and
  • receive topical presentations from keynote speakers.

SFDF is a devolved division of the Food and Drink Federation (FDF) and this enables industry members in Scotland to have direct input to the development, formulation and promotion of industry policy not only in Scotland but in the wider UK and EU contexts too. It also assists in promoting a consistent industry approach to legislation. See how FDF works.

  • building a platform from which to raise the industry's profile with the retail, food service and wholesale sectors;
  • creating an opportunity for constructive dialogue between suppliers and their customers in the retail, food service and wholesale sectors.
