A group set up in Orkney to take business in the islands forward since the Covid19 pandemic hit the economy is looking for more participation.

Orkney Business Advisory Group To Be Established

At a recent online meeting 15^thJuly the attendees backed the idea of active participation in the group and welcomed the opportunity to engage.

Neil Kermode, who chaired the meeting, said:

“Nominations are being sought to place 6 members of the business community on the Group who feel they have the following attributes.

“We need business people who have a strategic vision for Orkney, who collaborate, work in partnership, are committed to the best interests of the community and are willing to challenge ideas. We need people who have ambition for the county and can commit time to this group.”

If you think you have what Orkney needs then there is a nomination form here. It needs to be returned by midnight on the 4^th of August. If there are more nominations than positions then there may be a ballot and that will run from 5th to 12^th of August. The first Steering group is anticipated to be on the 14^th of August.
