“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.” 

Jill Connell, Lanarkshire Larder

“Our collaboration with New College Lanarkshire`s CLIC programme has been invaluable. From the initial consultation their team expertly identified key areas where we could enhance productivity and expand our digital capabilities. Their insights and guidance gave us the confidence to implement practical solutions that would benefit our staff and customers. This partnership has not only delivered immediate improvements, but also established a valuable ongoing relationship with the college that will continue to benefit Altogether Travel in the future.”

We found the Digital Marketing and Networking event at the Centre for Sustainable Development really enjoyable, interesting and very informative. The presentation from Jamie at HOWTO.MARKETING was excellent and a really insightful. The ongoing support that we are receiving from South Lanarkshire College is very much appreciated. 

Bob Wotherspoon, We Love Lanarkshire

West College Scotland should be extremely proud of the way they build relationships with external partners. Their commitment to helping us navigate through the complexity of workforce development has been exemplary.

Without this guidance at times, we would be lost.
