FSB August Networking Lunch.

12 members and guests of the FSB enjoyed lunch on Friday 31/8 at Ashoka Shak, Livingston, where we discussed the merits of the Modern Apprenticeship Scheme in Scotland. It was generally agreed that it is good for our youth to have this access to further training and job opportunities but it is not very well geared for the employer. The £2000 employer incentive has been withdrawn in most cases which could be the resource needed by many small business. This fund should be reinstated.
Once again we thrashed out the Pros and cons of social networking and left with this great advice from @alisonwinn " spend as much time searching as you do posting" for successful social media campaign.

WHAT YOU MISSED.

The FSB networking lunch held in Ashoka shak on 29 June was yet another fabulous event. 15 of us broke bread under Gaurav's famed hospitality. The fine Indian cuisine helped to get the tongues wagging and tales were told of renewable energy, smart local vouchers and sharp photography. The FSB is the leading Business organization in West Lothian although our networking events are open to all. If you would like to join in please let me know and I'll book you in for next months event.
Happy business
Bruce.

Hi to the 9 friends of the FSB who met for lunch today to thrash out the nitty gritty of social networking for business.
Thanks to Geoff and Alison for all the SEO tips. One I would like to pass on is "make sure you have a privacy statement on your blog/web site" this a legal requirement especially if your site uses cookies.
Other gems I need to check out are "instagram" "addthis" and "pintetest" all blog programmes to enhance your visitors experience.
