An inspiring evening at the Scottish Forces in Business Awards, where the huge contribution of the Reservist and military community in Scotland was recognised.
Fantastic to see so many employers celebrating their military colleagues and to witness the range of talent and commitment from Rising Stars to Lifetime Achievement Awards.
And great to meet with Julie Ann Simson of @forcesemploymentcharity.
Congratulations to all nominees and winners!

I was delighted to visit the team at Glasgow's Helping Heroes on Tuesday to hear an update on their work and insights into the Armed Forces and veteran community that they support. It was particularly encouraging to hear about new initiatives in response to emerging needs, alongside their continued commitment to supporting individuals facing housing, health and employment challenges.

Great to visit the @cofgcollege Maritime Hub, an inspiring facility delivering world-leading nautical training to students from the Royal Navy, Royal Fleet Auxiliary and Merchant Navy. It offers access to a highly sophisticated suite of engineering and bridge simulators to enhance learning.
I am very grateful to Chris Keenan, Dean of the Faculty of Nautical and STEM, and Gus Grubb, Dean of the Faculty of Education and Humanities, for a fascinating and informative tour.
I was also privileged to meet Dr Paul Little CBE, Principal and CEO of the college, and an Honorary Captain in the Royal Naval Reserve.
