Just what makes one of Scotland’s largest and most successful companies tick?
You can find out by signing up for the latest instalment in The Courier’s agenda-setting Business Briefings series, supported by Business Angus.
Following hot on the heels of Kwik Fit founder Sir Tom Farmer’s enthralling briefings presentation, Weir Group chief executive Keith Cochrane will be at the Forbes of Kingennie Resort in Angus on October 28 to give business leaders the benefit of his vast commercial experience.
He is a genuine industry heavyweight whose views count in boardrooms and in corridors of political power.
In a long and illustrious career, there are few situations the former Stagecoach chief executive will not have encountered and this is your opportunity to quiz him on the good, the bad and the ugly in the world of business.
“When someone like Keith Cochrane speaks, it is advisable to listen,” Courier editor Richard Neville said.
“As chief executive of a multi-billion-pound concern his experience in business is truly immense.
“He will be able to offer a unique perspective on global commerce and the twin challenges of creating and sustaining growth at home and abroad.
“Weir Group plays on the world stage but at its heart is a homegrown success story.
“It is Keith’s job not only to nurture Weir’s incredible industrial legacy but also to drive it forward in a sensible and sustainable manner.
“That is a tightrope that companies, no matter their size, can relate to and have to walk every day.
“So I’d encourage local firms to seize the chance to learn from one of Scotland’s leading business figures.
“It could be the game changer that puts your firm on the path to success.”
