Stranraer Development Trust reposted this
📣 The latest issue of our IoD Scotland Direction Magazine is now live! 🏞️ The rural economy is the focus of this Autumn edition, which underlines the value it can provide not just to local communities but to Scotland as a whole. Different articles make it clear that growth will not come from any single source, but rather co-operation across different sectors and organisations to rebalance the Scottish economy. 🤝 Clare Winskill, our IoD Highlands & Islands co-chair, makes the case for the untapped potential to be found in the tourism sector and beyond, while Naomi Mason gives her thoughts on the devolved government's planned Community Wealth Building Bill. And both Leona McDermid and Andrew Pollard talk about the role that the third sector can play in tackling problems and promoting growth. 📝 The issue also features: ⭐ Romano Petrucci of Stranraer Development Trust sharing his story of the resilience of a local economy. ⭐ Ranald Robertson putting a spotlight on technical innovations at the regional level. ⭐ Will Dowson chatting about his role as Agent for Scotland at the Bank of England, and Bill Magee providing both a national and international perspective on the role of effective digital infrastructure in rural economies. ⭐ Updates on recent branch activities, upcoming events, and benefits available to all our members. ⬇ Read the full edition below, or click the link to download your own copy! https://lnkd.in/eq7fSNKE
