Business growth events in the Scottish Borders

Over the coming months, we will be conducting our ‘Meet the Experts’ Roadshow - visiting a Scottish Borders town near you.

This will be a great opportunity to meet us, find out more about what we are offering, and network with other local small business owners.

Each event will be hosted by a local business and will be accompanied by tasty treats.
