The weather may not have been on our side, but that didn’t stop members of the Entrepreneurial Scotland community from enjoying a memorable day at our inaugural ES Open.
Held at Glasgow Golf Club, the event brought together founders, CEOs, directors, members, partners and guests from across our network for a day of golf, conversation and connection. While there was plenty of friendly competition on the course, the real focus of the day was creating opportunities for our community to spend time together in a different setting and strengthen relationships outside the boardroom.
Throughout the day, teams battled through challenging conditions with good humour, proving that a little Scottish weather is no match for great company.
The ES Open was created to offer another way for our community to connect, bringing together leaders from different sectors and stages of business around a shared interest and creating space for the conversations that often lead to new ideas, opportunities and lasting relationships.
A huge thank you goes to Glasgow Golf Club for hosting us, as well as Ashton McGill, Cane & Grain International, DMK Finance and Golf Sherpa for their support in helping make the day such a success.
