She said: 'We're the home of the shredded gammon.
'People come in for that because they love it.'
She continued: 'We always get our regulars every day, it's the same people we get mostly.'
Melanie and Garry Tibbitt, owners of Rowan's Deli, said: 'Rowan's is a family run business where staff become part of the family.
'The business has been trading for the best part of 40 years in the East End of Glasgow at first based in Budhill Avenue at the site of the original shops, then in Hermiston Road and now finally in our current location for over 25 years in Budhill Avenue.
'In 2012 we added a new Deli at Cumbernauld Road and adapted the business to cope with the change in demand from groceries to delicatessen where we continue to offer our fine quality fresh produce at reasonable prices, continuing the ethos of all food made fresh to order on site.
'Now with the expansion of our new location in Baillieston in 2023 after local demand, we can continue to supply our local residents and customers with quality produce whilst continuing to offer something new and tasty.
'For years we have had the ethos that the customer designs their lunch and we create it, don't settle for premade lunch offerings, get it fresh made daily.
'We've had 40 years of delicious memories and can't thank our customers and locals enough for being part of our story.'
Rowan's Deli is located at 855 Cumbernauld Road, 29 Buchanan Street and 20-22 Budhill Avenue.

Next generation of Red Arrows jets could be assembled at Prestwick Airport
An aviation company has selected Prestwick Airport as its preferred site for assembly of its aircraft, meaning the next generation of Red Arrows jets could be built in Scotland. Aeralis is discussing a strategic partnership with the central Ayrshire airport, which is owned by the Scottish Government. The company is the only one in the UK which is designing and building a manned light jet aircraft which could equip the RAF's display team, or be sold on the international export market. The Red Arrows currently fly Hawk T1 jets which are several decades old and due to be retired in 2030. Aeralis says components for the replacement jets would be built around the UK before being assembled at Prestwick, where the aircraft would take their first flight. The airport was bought by the Government for £1 in 2013, though officials hope to sell it back to the private sector. Ian Forgie, chief executive of Prestwick Airport, said: 'We are tremendously excited about this agreement with Aeralis and the opportunity it brings to generate jobs, apprenticeships, investment and innovation in the Prestwick area. 'We look forward to working with Aeralis to make this happen.' Tristan Crawford, chief executive of Aeralis, said: 'Prestwick represents an ideal site for our UK final assembly line. 'The airport has a strong aviation legacy particularly in whole aircraft manufacture, as well as excellent local aerospace manufacturing and MRO (maintenance, repair, overhaul) resources, and an operating model well suited to supporting new aerospace programmes. 'This will provide Aeralis with tremendous operating capability for building, testing and industrialising the new aircraft, meaning Prestwick is the perfect choice for Aeralis.' The company said it 'awaits UK Government commitment to the aircraft in order to move forward with these plans that will clearly return Scotland to its deserved place as a first-tier aviation nation'.

Build wealth with tailored advice from the experts
OFFERING financial planning and investment management under one roof does more than save clients a trip to multiple offices — it's essential for safeguarding long-term financial goals in an increasingly volatile world. TrinityBridge has sharpened its focus on delivering integrated wealth management, as competitors move toward off-the-shelf, one-size-fits-all financial products. Instead, clients benefit from a collaborative approach, where a team of talented local financial planners and investment managers work together daily to align strategies with individual goals and evolving market conditions. It is this sense of collaboration that gives the firm its name, and why Edinburgh based Chris Megahey and Andrew Mackintosh–Walker believe TrinityBridge's integrated proposition is what clients require in such a volatile world. Andrew said: 'We feel the name TrinityBridge perfectly captures our approach to looking after our clients. At the heart of everything we do is a uniquely personalised service representing the client as one arch of the bridge. The other two arches are the professional adviser and the investment manager. It doesn't matter how stormy the waters; we feel that this trinity working together gives a solid foundation to pass safely over.' Chris agrees and continues to highlight the importance of having a local team to achieve personalised goals. 'I believe that we achieve the best client outcomes when there is a very close relationship between the client, financial planner and investment manager,' Chris says. 'Our goal is to provide a very personal service to our clients, and this is achieved by working in small teams within TrinityBridge. Our clients here in Scotland have regular contact with both their financial planner and their investment manager and they are also introduced to the local support teams, giving them friendly and trusted faces to liaise with – not just a name on an email.' Chris, who has been with the firm for almost 24 years, believes he sees this proposition come to life every day when engaging with a wide range of clients. He said: 'A common scenario that we encounter with clients is that they wish to build up sufficient wealth during their working life to be able to retire at a certain age with a specified level of income. To do this we need to assess their possible income streams holistically at the time of retirement and develop a personal cashflow plan. 'These plans involve ongoing assessments of a client's financial position as well as market shifts and support the development of a tailored investment strategy. 'The plans are constantly being updated, so a close relationship between client and advisors is crucial to optimise long-term outcomes.' Andrew agrees and notes that sometimes using separate providers for financial planning and investment management services can cause inefficiencies. 'Before I joined TrinityBridge in 2018, I saw that working in separate companies (from the client's financial advisor) sometimes didn't make a smooth experience for clients. Sitting in the same room is of huge benefit in keeping each side of the business aware and up to date of the volatility we are seeing, not just in the macro environment but also in tax legislation, which seems to be an ever-moving feast. 'We feel we have all bases covered on behalf of our clients and can keep each party informed of actions that may need to be taken or considered' Andrew goes on to emphasise that as each client is unique, their financial goals and the plans to meet those goals ought to emulate this, 'We do not believe that our clients' needs are best met by placing them in a one size fits all service,' he says. 'We believe our approach is an increasingly rare service offering in the current wealth planning market. As investment managers, we sit with our clients to understand them as individuals.' Chris agrees: 'I like to think of us as tailors,' he laughs. 'Sure you can buy a suit off the shelf that may be close to fitting, but it is never as good as a tailored fit. 'At TrinityBridge, our investment offering is bespoke and that means that we can tailor portfolios to meet a client's exact needs.' In an increasingly volatile world, it is comforting for clients to know there is a team of locals navigating the unexpected. Chris Megahey and Andrew Mackintosh–Walker can be found at TrinityBridge, Edinburgh, 60 Melville Street in the heart of the city. ■ Please be aware that no investment, or investment strategy, is without risk. The value of investments can fall as well as rise and you may get back less than you invested
