Spotlight on: Anderson Strathern, Business Fours team

Posted: 8th March 2017

Business Fours, Scotland’s national business golf tournament is asking: does your business have what it takes to be Scotland’s national golf champions?

One of our Partners in Enterprise organisations, Anderson Strathern, will answer this question alongside fellow members Brewin Dolphin, Turcan Connell and Edinburgh Airport at the Professional Heat of this tournament on March 16 at Cragielaw Golf Club (which we are delighted to sponsor).

Anderson Strathern are a Scottish law firm with expert advisers in every area – here’s who’ll be competing in from the Anderson Strathern team. Best of luck to them!
