2020.  There are simply not enough descriptive phrases for this year.  But the roller coaster is not over yet – two more massive game-changers are mere days and weeks away – the upcoming US election and Brexit.  Both of these will have a significant impact on us in the UK.

On 4 November, or the ‘morning after’, we join the Scottish North American Business Council for a post-election briefing on what promises to be a fascinating discussion amongst political analysts and business advisors from both sides of the Pond.  We will discuss in particular the implications for Scotland and Scottish business.

I will be joining a fantastic group of experts and would very much welcome your observations and input as well for a spirited discussion of the results.  Let’s hope there is a result!
