Market Development


QMS is committed to working with a wide variety of stakeholders to help Scotland’s red meat industry grow, thrive and deliver excellent products in a number of ways. From the magnificent retailers, butchers and restaurants who provide customers with excellent eating experiences, to the suppliers and exporters who are responsible for making Scotch Beef, Scotch Lamba and Specially Selected Pork available in a vast array of markets – QMS’ role is to equip them with the materials, information and support they need to effectively perform their vital roles in the supply chain.

Scotch Butchers Club

We have over 250 members of the Scotch Butchers Club; like-minded, forward thinking independent high street butchers who source premium, quality assured meat. We provide seasonal marketing packs and recipe guides and host knowledge transfer days such as farm and livestock auction visits for our butchers. We also provide additional marketing assets and tools to help independent butchers run their businesses profitably. Weekly communications also offer advice on topical issues and provide up to date market information and analysis.
