The BHA Scotland’s Centenary Dinner, which took place at The Balmoral, Edinburgh, on Sunday 18 November, was an enjoyable evening for all in attendance.

The guests were addressed by the new SNP Tourism Minister, Jim Mather MSP who spoke of his excitement to work with the industry to achieve the target of 50 per cent growth from 2005 to 2015.

The Scotland Centenary Dinner was kindly supported by Clydesdale Bank, following on from their support of the 2006 BHA dinner at Scotland United.

One of Scotland’s largest banks, Clydesdale has enjoyed exceptional growth over the past three years. With over 150 retail branches and a network of Financial Solutions Centres the banks operations are currently expanding into the South of England after recently being voted the ‘Best Business Bank’ in Scotland, by the Forum of Private Business.
