Keynote speaker Felix Riley, an entrepreneur, financier and former comedy writer, who helps organisations and business leaders adopt “bigger thinking on their biggest challenges” and shows how ambition can turn into good outcomes, has been announced for the SWA Connex Conference on the 28th May.

Plans are under way for the Scottish Wholesale Association’s Connex Conference and evening dinner, hosted by broadcaster Zara Janjua, taking place in Glasgow on Thursday, 28th May – tickets are now on sale.

SCOTLAND’S most ambitious, innovative, forward-thinking and resilient wholesalers – and their people – have been recognised by the industry at the annual Scottish Wholesale Achievers Awards.

The Scottish Wholesale Association welcomes the steps taken in today’s Budget to support businesses, particularly the movement on business rates which will help stabilise costs across parts of our supply chain.

With the much-lauded Achievers Awards 2026 just over a month away, the Scottish Wholesale Association has unveiled the shortlists for the five categories that shine a spotlight on the people who work tirelessly to make their companies – and the wider wholesale industry – successful and innovative.
