A larger event was held in the evening focusing on opportunities for Irish firms in the transport infrastructure sector in Scotland, as well as offering business networking for the representatives of many Irish companies.

CG Bourne emphasised the Consulate’s commitment to supporting Irish businesses in Scotland, and highlighted the great opportunities that exist for them here. Both looked forward to upcoming Enterprise Ireland-organised events in Scotland.
