Scotland Meeting Review: UKHA Scotland members and committee gathered at The Salutation Hotel in Perth for their May meeting and enjoyed a fashion show, a buffet and a raffle.

Meeting Review from Ruth Clark: At our May meeting UKHA Scotland members were treated to a fashion Show, modelling a chosen collection of workwear from Florence Roby. The collection was kindly supplied by Karen Hesketh, Business Development Manager Florence Roby, who also introduced each model and uniform item before the models walked down the catwalk. It was a fun day and something a bit different !

Members were hosted by Gordon Paterson General Manager at the Salutation Hotel in Perth, alongside Kay MacMillan Head Housekeeper. We had welcome drinks and cold food buffet with lots of sweet treats.

Special thanks to Monika, Housekeeper at the Salutation Hotel for modelling along with UKHA Scotland Committee members on the catwalk .

We also welcomed new members and were treated to a presentation from Allan Ferguson from Allan's Chilli Products, where he gave us his story, took questions and then we had the chance to sample some of his products - spicy stuff!
