An Evening with…. Paul Wheelhouse MSP
01 March, 2018
Unfortunately, due to a change in Parliamentary Business, the Minister for Business, Innovation and Energy is no longer able to speak at this event. This leaves us with no alternative but to cancel at this time.
SUT+ are pleased to welcome the Scottish Minister for Minister for Business, Innovation and Energy, Paul Wheelhouse, to speak at the next in our series of “An Evening with…” presentations.
The aim of these events is to provide a platform for young professionals to learn from industry experts by providing informal “off the record” talks with industry leaders. These will be focused on personal professional development and current challenges the industry faces. Paul will be speaking about:
The decisions and events that guided his career.
Views on the recent downturn and on recovery.
Government policy and how this will shape the future of Aberdeen and the North Sea.
The challenges that the subsea industry faces in years to come.
Tips and advice for young professionals.
Q&A.
We hope that you can join us for this exciting event.
