GROCERY industry charity The Grocer Company of Glasgow has branched out to support students on an important wine course.
The charity, founded in 1789 by city grocers and merchants who wanted to look after the poor and needy of the trade, supports a number of pensioners but has in recent years also given backing to food and drink related students for courses, equipment and materials that will aid career development.
