Great to see such strong interest at our Vacant Property earlier this week! Thanks to everyone who joined us to explore the opportunities the grant offers for bringing vacant commercial properties back into use.

Huge thanks to our speakers, Keir Stevenson, Crawford Bell, Stephen McClure and Steven Fleming, for sharing their insight and guidance.

And of course, thanks to Falkirk Business Hub for hosting, and Finnegans for the excellent breakfast rolls! 😊
