What businesses say

Colin Campbell, CEO and Founder, Unlocking Potential

"I haven’t found another organisation that’s successfully provided me with access to experts in their field, or that's so willing to support our journey… the GlobalScots have been generous with their time, skills and knowledge, which has put us in a much better place to take advantage of the growing interest in our product."

Paul Slorach, Business Development Director, Verlume

"The basis of the network is the sharing of knowledge and expertise. It’s a free resource, meaning the GlobalScots are volunteers… and so they're naturally enthusiastic. It's great to see the success stories and be part of a global community with like-minded individuals."
