"Having been part of the Fife stand for the last few years however, we benefitted from greater delegate engagement, along with a sense of support and camaraderie from the other businesses on the stand.

"We are therefore delighted to be joining it again this year.”

“Attending Offshore Europe is major expenditure for any SME,” added Neil. “To have the support of a committed organisation such as Invest Fife in getting Fife-based companies here, some for the very first time, is a fantastic boost at this present time.”
