Fantastic setting for today’s @aberdeenuni Business and Finance fair.
Plenty of recruiters and support services for those looking to start and grow their own business.
Also delighted that we’re working with the University to offer an internship later this year 💪

A Visitor Levy scheme that works in Edinburgh won't necessarily work in East Lothian or elsewhere in Scotland. Local economic impact studies are crucial. Thanks to @elcourier for covering this important issue.

If the number of people employed in small businesses increased by just 2%, that would mean an extra 19,000 jobs in our economy.

The Scottish Government's food price cap plans have not been properly thought through. They would have knock-on effects on small businesses in the food supply chain as well as hitting some independent traders, as @colin_borland told @conor_matchett.

Our @colin_borland and @Stacey_FSB caught up with Secretary of State for Scotland @D_G_Alexander today. They covered lots of ground together, including the new PM's economic agenda and how it can back the business base to trade us back to growth.
