IoD Scotland Member Roundtable with Ivan McKee MSP
IoD Scotland invites members to join us online in conversation with Ivan McKee, SNP MSP for Glasgow Provan and former Minister for Business Trade Tourism and Enterprise.
Hear Mr McKee on the opportunities for SMEs from the recent Programme for Government particularly as we look ahead to the UK and Scottish Government budgets later this year. We will also touch upon the New Deal for Business Group and the principles behind it – particularly in relation to research published in August by the Fraser of Allander Institute.
An online event, the session will be chaired to Chatham House Rules and provides an excellent forum for members to pose questions and discussion with an expert when it comes to Scottish Government economic policy.
