Yesterday, we brought together representatives from some of Scotland’s biggest parties to hear about their plans for business and the economy over the next five years.

In partnership with The Scotsman and Edinburgh Evening News we gave Edinburgh business leaders the opportunity to quiz our prospective MSPs on their plans for the next parliamentary term - from growth and skills to business rates, regional economic devolution, and international competitiveness - and to explore how our capital city can help drive future prosperity across Scotland.

A huge thanks to CMS UK for hosting, and to our candidates for coming along and sharing their visions for the next government.
