Moray may be one of the smaller counties in Scotland, but its business is mighty. As Moray Chamber of Commerce we aim to make sure that our ‘fit to burst’ region does not get left behind.
November sees another Business Week for the county and this year the committee are focusing on the importance of online tools and how it affects trade – Connect Digitally, Grow Globally.
The digital theme for the week came around quite naturally. Here in Moray it feels like there is a lot of change and development on the horizon, both locally and globally, and we want to make sure that everybody is ready. We want to help future proof their businesses.
The event to kick off our Business Week on the 8th November is the Moray Speyside Tourism Conference which will see a host of speakers from companies such as Trip Advisor and Visit Scotland. Collaborating with Moray Speyside Tourism is so important for our region as 1 in 10 jobs in Moray is a tourism job and its contribution to the region’s economy is on a steep rise. The week then continues with various events, put on by our fellow business week partners at HIE, Business Gateway, Moray College UHI and Skills Development Scotland. The week will then finish with the Moray Chamber of Commerce Annual Awards Lunch which will recognise the successes of our tourism businesses, SME’s, and social enterprises.
The subject matter of our business week is very broad. It opens its arms to all businesses of all shapes and sizes. With global brands to aspire to within Moray, our SME’s and social enterprises have a hunger for export and international trade. Many of our smaller companies have an online presence and following to be envied by some of those bigger players, and Moray Business Week 2017 can teach the ‘how to’ skills to businesses regardless of their size or status.
