A FREE workshop will take place in Barrhead next week to help businesses embrace technology.

Organised by Business Gateway East Renfrewshire, the event aims to help those in attendance make the most of Office 365 – a system that provides the basic productivity apps necessary to get work done in a modern enterprise, including spreadsheets.

The workshop is being held at the Barrhead Foundry on Tuesday, February 4, starting at 1.30pm.

Colin McNally, of Business Gateway East Renfrewshire, told the Barrhead News: “Our advisers provide valuable support for businesses of all sizes.

“This includes one-to-one support sessions, extensive online resources and expert support on topics including innovation, exporting, finance and new markets.

“We work in close collaboration with a wide variety of partners, including Scottish Enterprise, Scottish Development International and Business Loans Scotland, to help identify various growth opportunities and provide the best advice and support to local businesses.

“Central to helping our customers succeed is our ability to listen to what businesses need, find the pieces they are missing, deliver the right support and make the right connections.”
