"The new ES network means that wherever you are in your career you can access the best possible support and opportunities. Over the past two years, we have seen our membership grow to more than 1,000 and we are ambitious to reach out to even more of Scotland’s entrepreneurially-minded individuals.
"This is the logical next step, allowing us to respond to our members’ needs and to connect Scotland’s finest emerging talent with ambitious individuals who are seeking to grow their leadership skills as well as those who are already leading large organisations.
"We’ve created three membership tiers so that the right support is available at the right time. It’s an important step along the way to achieving our vision of Scotland becoming the most entrepreneurial society in the world."
