A trip to Edinburgh this week to accept Fellowship of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
Born during the Scottish enlightenment, it is almost 250 years old. Scotland's national academy, it convenes people from all walks of life. I was awe in of my peers, honoured and delighted.
Commemoration Day celebrates the foundation of @UofGlasgow, celebrating our benefactors and welcoming World Changers into our vibrant #TeamUofG community.
Hear from @brianmcb, alum and hon grad on what this award means to him, and the importance of giving back ❤
Proud day at my Alma Mater, the 573 year old University of Glasgow where I received an honorary degree today. Via,veritas, vita. Resurgat in Gloria, alma mater!
We would like to thank our outgoing president @brianmcb for his invaluable contribution to our members and the wider organisation as president. He has been instrumental in leading on our ambition of achieving sustainable growth and delivering our renewed agenda for UK businesses.
I’m beyond excited to take on the @CBItweets presidency today. Thank you to everyone who has made me feel so very welcome – I can’t wait to work with our members to boost the UK’s growth prospects. #CBIChampion
Stuart was a great man. Full of humanity, warmth, wisdom. Behind his sparkling eyes lay a great sense of humour. His Alma Mater, and all who knew him will miss him.
Really saddened to hear that our former Chaplain, good friend & @UofGlasgow alumnus Reverend Stuart McQuarrie has passed away. His pastoral care & good humour was as legendary as his ability to bring communities together. If you needed him, you’d never be disappointed 💔
Business leaders also heard from @Jeremy_Hunt@hmtreasury
at #CBI23 prior to the #AutumnStatement – it was great to talk to him beforehand about the future success of our country and UK business.
It was a pleasure to join Ambassador José Pascual Marco Martínez in celebrating Spain's National Day at @EmbSpainUK today. We were honoured to recognise the strong bond between our two countries, as well as the many business, social, and tourism ties that we share. #12deOctubre
