Episode 31 - Sarah Millar

Sarah Millar is Chief Executive of Quality Meat Scotland (QMS), the Public Body for the red meat sector in Scotland. Join us as Sarah shares her journey from growing up on a farm in Lanarkshire and working in her family's butchery business, to exploring different avenues in the food and farming sector including agronomy and organics recycling, before realising her passion and finding her niche at QMS. Sarah talks about the role the Scottish Young Farmers Association has played in her life, her involvement with the National Council of Rural Advisors, and having the opportunity to be heard and valued as a young person. We talk about the responsibility that comes with helping shape the future of not just the red meat sector in Scotland, but of her family and friends lives and businesses, and how she balances that with having a life outside work. Sarah gives us an insight into what it was like to go off on maternity leave at the height of her career, how she navigated being diagnosed with MS at the age of 24, and how she now makes a conscious effort to seize the day. This episode is sponsored by the Landed Estates and Rural Business Team at Henderson Loggie Chartered Accountants.Connect with Sarah on social media - LinkedIn : Sarah Millar / Quality Meat Scotland \\ Instagram : @qmscotland Episode Recorded on 7th March 2024.All views expressed are our own.
