Orkney


It's been a couple of weeks since I posted anything . Trust me, I've not been idle and I'm now back in the bosom of the Highland Opportunity office so let's catch up...

Apart from another two fantastic clients going through the Orkney Panel, it was good to catch up with Kenny McGregor and our Panel Chair in Kirkwall, Karen Scholes (see picture). Orkney started 6 businesses last year and now takes a full part in PSYBT activities following the relaunch a couple of years ago. Through the efforts of Karen, Kenny and the volunteers, PSYBT has helped some really exciting and innovative businesses. This builds on Orkney schools' considerable achievements in Young Enterprise Scotland and the support of HIE Orkney.

I also met with Fashion Designer Kirsteen Stewart (Fresh from her Six Cities triumph at the Lighthouse in Glasgow) and Illustrator, Britt Harcus who both have great ideas for developing their businesses.

If you're based in Orkney and want to explore a business idea, contact us or HIE Orkney
