At the beginning of this week, I sponsored a fantastic event by B-Corps & B-Local Scotland. It had an excellent turnout, providing lots of networking opportunities for those in attendance. You can find out more about B-Corps & B-Local, as well as the event itself, in my previous post.
Social Enterprise Scotland are a member-led, independent organisation supporting social enterprises from across Scotland. Delivering on a specific social or environmental aim, social enterprise profits are invested back into their cause. I was delighted to meet with them at their exhibition stall this week to find out more about their efforts.
This week is Apprentice Week 2025. Apprenticeships are a fantastic way for our young people to gain hands-on experience of work as an alternative to further education. I met with Forth Ports, Syngenta and Malcolm Group in Falkirk East to talk to their apprentices about their experiences.
Finally, the Cross-Party Group on India met this week to witness a motion of understanding between FinTech and FICCI. FinTech Scotland supports a number of financial technology firms, and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry in India supports business building and promotion. The motion of understanding will develop co-operation between Scotland and India in business.
On Monday 10th, I will be holding a Cost of Living event in Grangemouth Town Hall between 3.30pm and 6.45pm. We have lots of fantastic third-parties attending, so do pop down if need any assistance.
