Dear Members

Deadline for the ROCCOs is extended to 10th September, visit www.roccoawards.com to enter and book tickets. You can enter as many categories as you wish with the Awards open to all members and any company from Renfrewshire.

The September networking lunch is at The Glynhill on the 30/9, with guest speaker and arguably one of the most famous business people in Scotland, Mr Jim McColl OBE. We are delighted to have attracted such a high profile speaker and we expect this will be a sell out, so I recommend you book tickets as early as possible to avoid disappointment http://www.renfrewshirechamber.com/SeptemberNetworkingLunch.asp.

There are many other events coming up including Renfrewshire’s 1st fatBuzz, lunch guest Sir Tom Farmer, Winning Customers workshop, trip to The Scottish Parliament, HR Forum, Belgian Embassy visit…. In other words, lots of networking opportunities – please visit http://www.renfrewshirechamber.com/all_events.asp to keep up to date – we now have a RSS feed that you can use, that you can update RSS readers or blogs with.

Content deadline for the next edition of Business Matters is 20/9. Themes are IT, creative industries (marketing / PR / design) and property/construction. Please forward all editorial and advertising requests to Dorothy at Contact Publicity on 0141 204 2042, office1@contactpublicity.co.uk
