Tonight, the Commonwealth Games return to Glasgow, with the Opening Ceremony marking the start of an incredible celebration of sport, culture and community 🏅

Alongside the Games, the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games festival will celebrate the city's creativity, culture and communities with events, performances and activities across every corner of Glasgow.

As the city prepares to welcome the world, we'd like to wish the very best of luck to everyone competing, volunteering and working behind the scenes – from chefs and hospitality teams to caterers and venue staff – who will help bring the Games to life.

Good luck, Team Scotland! 💙

Beans deserve a bigger place on the menu 🫘

We're proud to be supporting the campaign, led by The Food Foundation and VegPowerUK, to help get more beans onto menus across the UK.

Affordable, versatile and packed with fibre and protein, beans are an easy way to create nutritious, flavour-packed dishes while helping customers eat more sustainably.

Whether you're serving hearty stews, vibrant salads, curries or plant-based specials, there's a bean to suit every menu.

Meet the Team – Sally MacArthur, Your Way Fresh Produce Specialist (Part 1) 🥕🥬

Sally joined our team two months ago as our Your Way Fresh Produce Specialist, supporting customers across the Central Belt with expert advice on Fresh Direct produce.

Her passion for fresh produce has taken her from studying at an agricultural university and getting her hands dirty on farms, to buying fruit and vegetables for an online retailer and helping shape the agricultural policy for England at Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).

From neighbourhood cafés to restaurants serving cuisines from around the world, no two customers are the same. Sally enjoys helping chefs find exactly the right produce for their menus – sometimes introducing them to products they didn't even know they needed…

If you're based in the Central Belt and would like to find out how Sally can support your business, get in touch 👇

"Hub International's programmes are fantastic. They're encouraging young people to get into the industry, get excited about food and hospitality, and potentially build a career. On top of that, they're teaching valuable life skills as well."

Our Development Chef, Michael Croy, recently caught up with Zoltan Szabo from Hub International to talk about supporting the next generation of hospitality professionals through the organisation's training academy and chef development programmes 👨‍🍳🍴

Last year alone, Hub International inspired, engaged and developed more than 1,200 new entrants into the world of food, drink, hospitality and tourism.

From cookery workshops on Arran, helping island communities make the most of locally available ingredients during ferry disruptions, to inspiring children at the Paisley Food & Drink Festival to discover the joy of cooking, these initiatives are helping people develop new skills and discover the opportunities a career in hospitality can offer.

A big thank you to Hub International for capturing Michael's story, and for the fantastic work they continue to do across Scotland.
