Support for the Fellowship

The Saltire Fellowship has already generated great interest from across the Scottish business community; including potential project host companies and employers. Read what others have to say about the programme and its aims.

• From John Anderson, Chief Executive, The Entrepreneurial Exchange
  "The lack of sufficient talent (particularly around sales and marketing) in the Scottish business community has been widely recognised for some time now. The Saltire Fellowship aims to overcome this problem by investing in those individuals who have the ability to help grow companies of scale and change the future of Scotland."
• From Fiona Lowrie, Chief Executive, Forth Photonics (former European Sales & Marketing Director, Optos)
  "What is exciting about the Saltire Fellowship is its potential to provide companies like us with talented individuals that will have the confidence and experience to grow and develop our business both in Scotland and internationally."
• From Calum Paterson, Managing Director, Scottish Equity Partners
  "I was very pleased to hear about the Saltire Fellowship as it has been designed to address some of the most important challenges, particularly around sales and marketing, that face the Scottish businesses today."
• From Derek Blackwood, President Americas, Wood Group Engineering
  "The uniqueness of the Saltire Fellowship programme is its ability to offer candidates experiential learning within some of the world's top international companies. Wood Group is pleased to support this programme."
