Scottish Shortbread Goes Global | Glasgow News
Description
A Scottish shortbread legend, Dean’s of Huntly, just landed a £1 million loan to fuel global expansion—shipping treats across Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia. Backed by UK Export Finance, the cash also funds eco-upgrades like solar panels, slashing carbon emissions by nearly 50 tonnes yearly. Their recent acquisition of Duncan’s of Deeside boosted staff from 140 to 200 full-time roles. Born in 1975 when Helen Dean baked for her husband’s pipe band, this humble start is now scaling into a worldwide brand—with UK officials betting big on food exporters to drive economic growth by 2029.
