FAIRTRADE certified contracts guarantee coffee farmers a minimum price for their beans, so their costs of production are covered. The farmers are also paid a premium, which enables them to invest in their communities to improve living and working conditions.

ORGANIC certification means that coffee farmers avoid unnecessary chemicals and pesticides - good news for plant and animal life. Organic certification also means more money to the farmers, over and above the Fairtrade price.

THE RAINFOREST ALLIANCE seal means that farms look after the tropical forests where they live and work. Wildlife is protected, rivers kept clean and natural resources untouched.

Richardson Oils is a family run business based in Coatbridge, just off the M8 Motorway. Richardson Oils have been trading for over 15 years and started initially as a waste oil collection service. Sales of fresh oil, dry store food products and catering disposables have increasingly formed the major part of their business.

Simon Howie began his first butchery business from the Perthshire village of Dunning, where it quickly established an outstanding reputation for supplying meat to restaurants and hotels. A state of the art factory was built to keep up with demand from which it continues to supply butchery and chef prepared products to chefs, restaurants and many of the UK's leading supermarkets. Although Simon Howie Butchers is now a much bigger operation, traditional craft skills are still practised, quite literally taking the concept of a local butcher into the supermarket arena.
