Regional Managers' Meeting

Just back from this quarter's managers meeting in the cute but rather windy village of Drymen. It's a time of major change in the enterprise network (especially for my colleagues in the south) and it's important that we keep ourselves informed and prepared.

We were pleased to welcome our new chair, Shonaig MacPherson to the meeting which also included one of our regular training sessions.

It was also Western Isles manager Jane Campbell's umptieth birthday and here's a picture from the party.

Here's a slightly scarier one......

Highlands & Islands Business Awards

As usual, this year's prestigious Highlands & Islands Business Awards featured the PSYBT Award for H&I based businesses. This year's winner was our very own Highland Eggs who were up against particularly strong candidates from Western Isles and Argyll.

It was a busy week all round. Straight after the awards, PSYBT Fundraising Manager, Becca Logan, and I shot off to Brown's Fine Arts in Tain to discuss a proposed future event. (Watch this space)

The following day, we North-based PSYBT managers held our Quality Circle which also included a training session with the aforementioned Becca and Finance Director, Douglas Bowie.

We also also met with John Saich from HI-Arts to discuss how PSYBT 's support for the creative industries can work with Hi-Arts' own considerable experience and networking opportunities.

After that we headed off for Drymen (see separate post).
