Nia Hunter from Weisdale won the young talent award at the Scottish Food and Drink Excellence Awards in Edinburgh last night (Thursday).
The 19-year-old has just finished her apprenticeship with A&D Hunter and works at the Shetland Livestock Marketing Group’s abattoir.
She was left stunned when her name was called out at the national awards.
“It was a big shock, I was shocked to even be in the final.
“When I heard about all the other finalists, I never expected to win, it’s an amazing feeling,” she said.
