"Networking is a fundamental cornerstone of business. The difference with WeDO Scotland is that they display all the characteristics of a close knit family, however they have the strength and depth of a large organisation. They are without doubt a rich source of learning and connections."

"Membership of WeDO has been the best investment I've made as a business owner. The wealth of experience within the network has been invaluable in supporting not just me directly, but also enabling me to better support my customers. I don't believe I've ever come across a group of people who are so generous with their time and knowledge."

"It's great to be part of the WeDO business community. As an entrepreneur, I have benefitted so much over a short space of time through the connections I have gained and the support I have received from other members in shaping my business for continued growth, especially more so over the last two months when there has been so much uncertainty."
