Since the late 1990s, there has been a net international migration into the UK from abroad. This is an increasingly important factor in population change. It suggests that diverse tastes and cultures may sustain the demand for food and drink products in the UK. 5% of all workers in the UK Food and Drink manufacturing sector are Overseas Nationals (OSN). They provide an invaluable source of skilled and unskilled labour for manufacturers. Migration both stimulates the products consumers wish to purchase and the way in which they are produced effectively. Scottish Meat Training acts to find placements for overseas nationals wishing to work in Scotland. Applicants are asked to send their cv to Scottish Meat Training, 8/10 Needless Road, Perth PH2 0JW, Scotland or e mail Business Link have a guide to Ensuring your workers are eligible to work in the UK, focusing on employees from the European Economic Area, which includes Poland.
