Linda and Gail triumphed along with 20 other School Visitors across the UK, and were recognised for the value they deliver to their local communities by enriching food education amongst school children in the areas close to Warburtons’ bakeries.

Gail said: “We’re delighted that the Warburtons School Visitors programme has, once again, been recognised at a national level.

“Primary schools across Scotland have embraced the initiative demonstrating their commitment to educating children about food and nutrition from a young age.

“We are passionate about adding value to school lessons, ensuring children have the knowledge and skills to pursue a healthy lifestyle.

“We are looking forward to delivering more classes to children across Scotland over the next academic year.”
