This week, we've been busy telling the press all about the dangers of anti-illicit trading,
how primary school children in aberdeen are keeping fit and healthy and a new manly craze
for one of our edinburgh hotels.
First up, we've been telling the national press about a call for scotland to crack down
on serious organized crime by encouraging people to stop buying illicit and counterfeit
goods. The international trade in counterfeit goods
is estimated to cost the UK economy around £1.3 billion a year, so the scottish business resilience
centre has decide to hold its first anti-illicit trade summit.
The first of its kind event, is set to bring together law enforcement, trading standards,
government and people in the industry to highlight the dangers to personal safety as well as
the threat to Scotland's businesses from the spread of illicit trade.
News of this event was picked up in the business pages of national tile the "Scotland on Sunday".
Next up, in house caterers of aberdeen football club, sodexo prestige, have been helping local
school children stay fit and healthy through a new free after-school club.
The pupils receive an hour of free expert football coaching at the local indoor football
pitches before learning the skills that will encourage them to enjoy healthy meals around
their own dining tables at home with the family. Sodexo prestige, also provide the children
with the same freshly prepared and nutritional meals that there football idols will eat that
day, ensuring they truly get to eat like a don star.
News of this fantastic program, made a front page splash on the front cover of aberdeen
now. And finally, The Bothy restaurant and drinkary
in The Murrayfield Hotel has brought a little bit of America to the capitol, making the old-fashioned
cocktail the most popular drinks on the menu. Masculine credentials of the whiskey-based
concoction are also further advanced because drinkers are served their measure in a manly
hip flask. News of this man-only cocktail, was picked
up by STV's which used a variety of photographs showing you why temptation of this masculine
measure is hard to resist. That's it for this week, but you can keep
