“Engaging with the Centre for Sustainable Development at South Lanarkshire College has opened up numerous opportunities for Lanarkshire Larder to enhance our business. It has been a pleasure to collaborate with the students and Innovation Team there and look forward to a long and lasting relationship.”

We recently completed training with West College Scotland to help our business expand into the renewable energy industry. The course was very well presented, and all the staff were first class in their approach.

I look forward to working with them again in the future.
