Also, with the firm renowned for using local suppliers, it is hoped that the business will bring further commerce to Newton Mearns.

A raffle will be held on the day, with a number of fantastic prizes - kindly donated by the local business community - to be won.

All money raised will be matched by Fosters and donated to East Renfrewshire Good Causes, a charity that helps local people in need.
