Tickets have been launched for the Scottish Wholesale Achievers Awards 2026 and organisers are encouraging wholesalers and suppliers alike to secure their places for the prestigious industry event in Edinburgh on Thursday, 19th February 2026.
The event, now in its 23rd year, celebrates the wholesale industry across Scotland and rewards outstanding performance as well as the key part it plays in the food and drink supply chain, local economies and wider Scottish economy. Judging is currently under way.
In addition to highlighting best practice and innovation, Achievers exists to recognise the efforts of the dedicated people who work across the wholesale sector in various roles.

With £1,000 going to the overall winner of each people category – Wholesale Driver of The Year, Rising Star of Wholesale, Employee of the Year, Wholesale Local Food Champion and Supplier Sales Executive of the Year – in 2026 there will also be £500 awarded to each runner-up and £250 for each highly commended winner.
SWA chief executive Colin Smith said: “Keeping the wheels of our industry moving is very much a team effort and we are keen to single out the sterling efforts of the people who bring it all together – people in wholesale who are often the ‘unsung heroes’ of the food and drink industry. That why Achievers celebrates their dedication and commitment to their own businesses and the wider wholesale sector.”
Tables for the gala dinner and awards presentation at the O2 Academy Edinburgh on Thursday, 19 February 2026 can be booked via the SWA website or by contacting awards@scottishwholesale.co.uk
