Scottish Bakers is calling on government for additional support after a survey conducted amongst its members last month revealed the harsh impact of coronavirus.
Scottish Bakers members are made up of hundred of high street bakeries and cafes, as well as wholesalers supplying the hospitality sector along with schools, hospitals and works canteens. Collectively, the members employ more than 12,000 workers across Scotland.
The association said that despite working hard to introduce new ways to adapt to the tough rules introduced over the past year to limit the spread of coronavirus, the sector has been hard hit.
