Organised by Business Gateway Scottish Borders, the European funded tour spent six months in the region. Business leaders from the world of marketing, social media, motivation, innovation and sales drew crowds, with speed networking proving a popular way to break the ice and form new business relationships at each event.

Phil McCreadie, Business Gateway manager, said: “The tour has been a phenomenal success, with business owners from across the region picking up sound advice from the experts who were carefully selected to speak on topics we know local businesses want to hear about.
