22nd March 2010, 7:00am

Craig Stevenson, the owner and managing director of, Braehead Foods, suppliers of fine foods to the catering industry, was awarded a lifetime achievement award by the Hospitality Industry Trust (HIT) Scotland at its annual dinner last week.

The black tie dinner, held at the Radisson Blu hotel, raised over £72,850 for HIT Scotland's bursary and scholarship programmes.

Over 400 guests enjoyed a meal which included courses created by Michelin starred chefs, Martin Wishart, Jeff Bland and Steven Doherty. Martin provided the starter, his Loch Fyne Crab and Veal Tartare. This was followed by Jeff's Blairgowrie beef fillet and Steven's dessert, a jivara chocolate and coffee mousse.

Craig learnt he was receiving the award at the start of the evening. The HIT Scotland lifetime achievement award is presented to someone who goes above and beyond their role to raise standards and aspirations in the industry.

Craig said: "This award comes as a complete surprise but I am over the moon to receive it. For me, it is important to put money, time and effort back into the business we earn a living from and I think the hospitality industry in Scotland is particularly good at this. There are many people like me giving back and I am surprised but delighted to be recognised for it."
