Shortlisted in the Community Partner category, Loch Duart highlighted its new \u2018Salmon Pool\u2019 fund. A partnership with Loch Duart\u2019s fish feed supplier, Cargill Aqua Nutrition, who makes EWOS feed, \u2018Salmon Pool\u2019 provides community funding that is available to local charities and projects benefiting local people.<\/p>\n<p>Alban Denton, Managing Director of Loch Duart, said:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cBeing shortlisted for the Food and Drink Federation, Community Partner Award is just wonderful. Without the highly experienced, committed and loyal local communities which are central of Loch Duart\u2019s day-to-day involvement in Sutherland and the Uists, we wouldn\u2019t be able to nurture and rear our extraordinary salmon. Integral to the success of the Salmon Pool initiative is the allocation of funds.\u00a0 Loch Duart\u2019s HR &amp; Community Manager Rebecca MacInnes, manages this distribution in a careful and diligent manner, deeply sensitive to the culture of the local communities. We can\u2019t wait to share our stories and community experiences at the FDF Awards.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Ian Wright CBE, Chief Executive of the Food and Drink Federation, said:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cCongratulations to all the teams, individuals, and brands that were nominated for our Awards.
