Glasgow Tech Week sets template for future success
Standing room only for the 'Scaling in Sync – C-suite strategies for Unified Growth' event during Glasgow Tech Week Founders need more opportunities to learn from peers and share playbooks, writes Nick Freer Sign up to our Scotsman Money newsletter, covering all you need to know to help manage your money.

At the stunning Barclays campus with incredible views over the Clyde, the river that runs through the story of Glasgow's industrial revolution, today's business leaders gathered to discuss taking Scotland's tech and entrepreneurial scene to the next level. The 'Scaling in Sync – C-suite strategies for Unified Growth' event featured scaleup leaders from Deliveroo, ENOUGH, Firstbase, and Malted AI, and thanks to the Innovation Banking team at Barclays, Cooper Parry, and Burness Paull for inviting me along to chair the panel on the night. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Andy Robinson was the commercial director at software development firm Cultivate when Deliveroo made the company its first ever UK acquisition in 2019, with Robinson joining a tech juggernaut which was hiring up to 100 people every week – which sounded like scaling on steroids. Nick Freer is the founding director of corporate PR agency Freer Consultancy (Picture: Stewart Attwood) As chief financial officer at ENOUGH, Elaine Ferguson has overseen funding rounds totalling over €100 million from global investors as the food tech company innovates towards its mission around sustainable food transition. Headquartered in Glasgow, ENOUGH recently opened the world's largest non-animal protein facility, based in the Netherlands. After leaving the oil and gas industry in Aberdeen, Chris Herd built IT asset management platform Firstbase that was acquired by San Francisco-headquartered AppDirect last year. So the maxim, 'If you build it, they will come', from the Eighties movie Field of Dreams rings true – you don't have to be in Silicon Valley to scale amazing tech startups. Having said that, in spite of a catalogue of individual company success stories like Cultivate, ENOUGH, and Firstbase, as a nation we are still seeing relatively few scaleups going on to achieve truly global success. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad In this column only a few weeks ago, prominent tech C-suite Richard Lennox put it like this: 'We haven't yet cracked the code of creating global-scale businesses' in an op-ed headlined, 'How Can We Fix Scotland's Big Scaleup Problem?'. Artificial intelligence is enabling some tech startups to gain traction much quicker than ever before, so for example a small AI-enabled tech team can be ten times more productive. So, it was interesting to hear from Laura Bernal Vergara, chief of staff at Edinburgh-based Malted AI, about the work they are doing around small language models (SLMs). We covered so much at Barclays the other night that it would be hard to faithfully digest that here, but I hope that each of the panelists will take the opportunity to write for this column in the weeks and months ahead. What is clear is that we need more of the kind of interaction that took place at Glasgow Tech Week, and very probably on a more regular basis, so that founders can continually learn from other peers, and share playbooks on how we can succeed together – faster and stronger.

‘It blew my mind when I saw the video of Dad tackling Jonah Lomu'
We were at Farleigh House, stately home and Bath training headquarters when, suddenly, a back row of true world class materialised — due to the coincidence of their daily schedules. Andy Robinson, a great player and great coach, arrived to continue mentoring Bath's emerging players; John Hall, the massive blind-side flanker held in awe by his Bath colleagues of the great years, arrived next — he is president of the club and chairman of Bath Rugby Heritage. All we needed was a No8 and Steve Ojomoh, also from the great Bath sides of the 1980s, soon joined them. His task for the day was to explain to us the delights and any downers of having a son in the professional game. So when Ojomoh is

Boy, 14, arrested after two teenagers stabbed in Merseyside
A 14-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after two teenagers were stabbed in Merseyside, police have said. Officers were called to Whitefield Drive in Kirkby at around 8.25pm on Wednesday to reports of two teenagers being stabbed. They found a 15-year-old boy and 14-year-old girl with knife injuries. The boy suffered a number of stab wounds to the body and the girl suffered a single stab wound to the chest. The pair were taken to hospital where medics have assessed their injuries as non-life-threatening, Merseyside Police said in a statement. Both are in a serious but stable condition in hospital. The suspect is being held in custody where he will be interviewed by detectives. Detective Inspector Graeme Osborne said: "Our initial enquiries suggest there may have been an earlier incident in the Tithe Barn Lane area and we believe that there are people who may have witnessed this. "I would urge those people to come forward. "It was a pleasant summer's evening and we know that there would have been people in and around the Westvale area, both in cars or on foot, and I would appeal for anyone who saw anything, or captured something on their mobile phone or dashcam to contact us. "We know incidents such as this involving young people causes a great deal of concern for our communities but I want the public to know we are working hard to proactively drive down knife crime in Merseyside." A 24-hour Section 60 Order will be in place in Westvale and nearby Tower Hill from 6pm, Merseyside Police said on Thursday. Police will be able to carry out more stop and search procedures in order to prevent serious violence. Neighbourhood Policing Inspector Andy Robinson said the force's officers, who are carrying out more patrols, will have "the ability to stop and search anyone suspected of carrying weapons or planning any criminality". The aim, he said, is "to keep the public safe".
