Food firms offered marketing workshops

Food and drink businesses on the Island are being offered the chance to learn more about marketing, with a special course run by the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture.

The workshops are part of the government's Food Matters strategy, and hope to teach companies about tools and techniques to improve their profitability.

The events will be held next March at DEFA's headquarters on Foxdale Road in St John's.

The government will pay half the cost, and you can book your place via the government website.
