Malcolm Copland, Commercial Director, Greggs, adds, “We are pleased to team up with SSP as our newest franchise partner. We know that high quality food on-the-go and convenience go hand in hand. This partnership further expands our presence in busy travel hubs, giving us the opportunity to bring our range of products to more customers each day.”
