As a business leader for many years, I have found SCOTTISHLEADERS to be a great source of support and inspiration from a trusted group of Peers that will help shape and improve your business much quicker than on your own.

I have worked in Senior roles as a Director, Managing Director and Chairman in the I.T. sector for over 20 years helping to support growth in SME companies throughout the UK.

I joined SCOTTISHLEADERS as it is a unique opportunity to learn and share issues with trusted Peers that helps grow me as a leader and improves the organisations I represent.

I have experienced many benefits since being a member of SCOTTISHLEADERS, these range from support for one-off issues to new ideas that can be introduced into businesses I represent. We have had many quality speakers that have spoken to the group on key subject matters, which allow you to consider the value your business could benefit from introducing. If I wasn't exposed to these regular speakers, I would have missed some great ideas and suggestions which helped grow businesses I represent.
