ENTREPRENEURIAL Scotland has unveiled a partnership with wealth management firm Cazenove Capital, which will be lead sponsor of the network’s annual conference at Gleneagles next week.
Formed by the merger of the Entrepreneurial Exchange and Saltire Foundation, Entrepreneurial Scotland calculates that its networks include more than 1,000 of Scotland’s current and future entrepreneurial leaders, who collectively employ more than 150,000 people and generate revenues of about £17 billion a year.
Entrepreneurial Scotland noted its corporate partners provide members with “access to expertise, experience and resources to help them grow and scale their businesses”.
Bob Hair, wealth planning director and head of Cazenove Capital’s Edinburgh office, said: “We have been helping entrepreneurs preserve and grow the wealth created through their endeavours for over 200 years.”
Sandy Kennedy, chief executive of Entrepreneurial Scotland, said: “We limit our corporate partners to key organisations with a significant presence in the Scottish business community, a track record of backing entrepreneurial leaders and for encouraging business growth, and who can offer distinct value to our members.”
He noted his organisation’s ambition for Scotland to become “the most entrepreneurial society in the world”.
Entrepreneurial Scotland’s conference is being held at Gleneagles Hotel on May 4, focusing on the theme of “scale-ups”. Speakers include Chris Gauld, chief executive of Spark Energy, tech entrepreneur and Blippar co-founder Jess Butcher. Marty Bell and Kris Reid, co-founders of Tens Sunglasses, and Mark Hogarth, creative director at Harris Tweed Hebrides, are among the other speakers.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
