Open Day at True Origin Warehouse with Howard

And drinks for former Scottish Fair Trade CE, Martin Rhodes

Thanks so much to everyone who came along to the open day at our warehouse in Paisley following the Scottish Fair Trade Campaigner Conference on Saturday 14th Sept. Visitors enjoyed seeing "where it all happens" at this end of the import process. The warehouse is filled with rice and other delicious Fair trade products and this gave folk a further chance to engage with Howard and sample some of our other offerings.

We were delighted that the warehouse was also the venue for the reception for Martin Rhodes MP, former CE of Scottish Fair Trade. Martin has been a tireless supporter of True Origin (formerly JTS) and of course Fair Trade in general and we much appreciate all his efforts in maintaining Scotland's Fair Trade Nation status and supporting organisations like ours. Attendees included past and present staff and volunteers and board members. We wish him well in his new role as MP. Thanks to everyone who attended.
