Tods Murray is hosting the first ever Scottish event with the CEO of Swiss banking software company Avaloq.
Francisco Fernandez's firm announced its arrival in Scotland at the end of last year alongside its plan to create 500 jobs for its new innovation centre based in Edinburgh, which was officially opened in February by John Swinney.
Francisco Fernandez will speak to an audience of Scottish SMEs in Glasgow for the first time on Thursday at the Blythswood Square Hotel in Glasgow.
He will be telling the story of his vision and the journey he has made developing Avaloq, as well as the aggressive growth plans in place through international expansion, which include Scotland.
Following hiss talk, Anne Bennie, senior associate in the employment law team at Tods Murray, will explore some “employer concerns” and suggest some preventative steps.
Martin Thurston Smith, head of employment law at Tods Murray, said he hoped the event would prove to be insightful and highly engaging, offering practical advice to Scottish businesses. "The session will provide a platform for lively discussion and delegates will have the opportunity to put questions to Francisco, as well as exchanging views with fellow business leaders from the SME sector."
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
