SRUC was formed out of the merger with Barony, Elmwood and Oatridge Colleges and the Scottish Agricultural College, delivering skills, education and business support for Scotland’s land-based industries.
Claire Lorimer, purchasing manager at SRUC, said: “We were impressed with the professionalism of Guthrie’s tender submission and delighted with the quality of their products and exceptional customer service.”
The college is set to benefit from a bespoke inventory management system designed and developed by Guthrie Group, which has provided customers with continuous supplies of equipment throughout the pandemic.
As well as being chief executive of the business that bears her name, Guthrie serves on the court of Queen Margaret University and is a trustee of the Scottish Flag Trust.
