Join us for Stirling Business Month | Glaze & Save
Tomorrow marks the beginning of Stirling Business Month , sponsored by French Duncan LLP, which opens with a fantastic conference Investing in our Future which takes place at Stirling Enterprise Park Ltd. We’re delighted to announce that our CEO Dr Tanya Ewing will be speaking at the event, which includes many illustrious figures from the public sector and business world.
As an Award-winning tech entrepreneur, Tanya is passionate about helping households and businesses to reduce their energy consumption. For those of your new to the blog and unfamiliar with Tanya’s work, she is the inventor of Ewgeco (now NetThings) and is partly responsible for creating a concept that will be installed in all UK homes by 2020. The former Top Scot for the Environment and British Female Inventor of the Year is over the moon to be speaking at the opening event of Stirling Business Month, and will be her successful career, which includes receiving an honorary degree from Edinburgh Napier Universityin 2015 for her contribution to innovation and entrepreneurship.
A further highlight, however, is sure to be hearing former Scottish rugby international Iain Milne, also known as ‘The Bear’ speaking at the conference. The sports legend will be talking about his career and, importantly, his battle with depression. We understand and appreciate the importance of striking a sustainable work/life balance and how the pressure to succeed in our chosen fields can negatively affect mental health, so this is sure to be a talk worth hearing.
We’re naturally also looking forward to hearing all of the speakers from the business world, including Alan Mahon from social enterprise Brewgooder(improving the world through the power of beer!); Juliette Cassidy from HEAT Fitness(one of this year’s Business Insider’ s Top 20 Women to Watch); and Steven Drost of Codebase, the UK’s largest technology incubator. An impressive line-up, I think we can all agree!
We’ll also be hearing from Stirling Council’sChief Executive Stewart Carruth who will be talking about the new Stirling: Alive with Scotland branding that the city has undergone, and why this particular branding exercise truly encapsulates the spirit of local people in Stirling.
Managing director of French Duncan LLP Graeme Finnie will also be discussing the changing world of work and the impact and opportunities of modern advances in technology that face business today.
All in all it’s sure to be an exceptionally great event, full of interesting and useful insight as well as some great opportunities to network (and it’s always nice to get out of the office). Tickets are still available from Eventbrite.
See you there!
