I spoke out this week after yet another example of hardworking businesses in the North East being let down through no fault of their own by the SNP Government in Edinburgh, with firms from our region either rejected or not told about a flagship Covid fund for food and drink firms struggling in the pandemic.
Wholesalers across the North East are crying out for lifeline funding like this and I’m absolutely appalled at the situation they have been left in by the Scottish Government. It’s astonishing and quite frankly disgraceful that the fund hasn’t helped a single firm from the North East and I will continue to seek answers as to why this is. Not only that, but firms weren’t even notified of the fund existing which makes this situation all the more frustrating. There is practically no understanding of the problems wholesalers face from the SNP Government and that attitude must change.
