Industry body Scotland Food & Drink has appointed Tracy Cameron as head of membership and commercial and Jessica Van Tromp as business development manager for the east of Scotland.

Ms Cameron joined Scotland Food & Drink in January 2022 as business development manager for the Highlands and Islands before stepping into the role of interim head of business development earlier this year.

She has now taken on her new role, continuing to support Scotland Food & Drink’s Highlands and Islands members, while working closely with membership and commercial director John Donnelly, who joined in May 2024.

Ms Van Tromp began her food and drink career through Scotland Food & Drink’s graduate programme, where she was placed in Scotmid as a graduate commercial support development officer. Following the completion of the graduate programme, she continued at Scotmid as the local sourcing manager.

She returned to Scotland Food & Drink last year as the project manager for Showcasing Scotland 2024, the country’s largest global food and drink trade event. She now joins the business development team to support members in the east of Scotland.

The business development team at Scotland Food & Drink is responsible for directly supporting its more than 400 members by connecting them to commercial opportunities and fostering collaboration between businesses.

John Donnelly, membership and commercial director at Scotland Food & Drink, said: “By strengthening our team with experienced professionals like Tracy and Jessica… we are better positioned to support our members and the wider industry in achieving sustainable growth.

“These appointments and ongoing recruitment are integral to our national strategy – ‘Sustaining Scotland. Supplying the World.’ – which focuses on driving responsible growth through collaborative leadership, connecting, championing, and nurturing the collective potential of the food and drink industry in Scotland.”
