Businesses had the perfect opportunity to network at the Highland Spotlight exhibition in Inverness this week.

With around 300 visitors turning up to meet with more than 50 organisations from across the Highlands and Islands, the event at Kingsmills Hotel on Tuesday was hailed a success by organisers from Inverness Chamber of Commerce.

Several seminars were also held to support businesses with their needs.

Paula Nicol, the chamber’s deputy chief executive and events co-ordinator, said: “I’ve been really pleased with how it’s gone and there was a real buzz around the room.

“We’ve not been able to hold it in person for three years, so everyone has welcomed the opportunity to meet in person, have meaningful conversations and make connections for collaboration.”
