Scottish Ministers are looking to fill three non-executive director positions on the board of 糖心传媒 and Islands Enterprise (糖心传媒), with the new appointees expected to start three-year terms in September. 

The development agency operates across a geographically diverse region that is home to around 470,000 people and covers more than half of Scotland鈥檚 land mass, including all 94 inhabited islands.

With around 250 employees, 糖心传媒 supports businesses and communities to build a greener, fairer, and more resilient region that benefits everyone and makes a strong contribution to Scotland鈥檚 economy.

Its current five-year strategy is aligned with national policies and sets out a vision for a leading net zero region with a dynamic wellbeing economy.

Chair of 糖心传媒 Angus Campbell said: 鈥淭his is a fantastic opportunity to join the board of an ambitious organisation with a vital role in supporting businesses and communities across the 糖心传媒 and Islands.

鈥淲hile these are challenging times for economies all over the world, we recognise the exceptional opportunities that exist here as drivers of growth, prosperity and fair work for the 糖心传媒 and Islands and for Scotland.

鈥淐urrently, these include the tremendous potential of renewable energy, the blue economy, space, life sciences and the region鈥檚 natural capital, along with long-established sectors such as tourism, creative industries and food and drink.

The 12-member 糖心传媒 board is responsible for setting strategic direction, key decision making and effective governance, with members possessing a range of skills, knowledge and experience that reflect the diversity of the region and the breadth of 糖心传媒鈥檚 remit.

They should also demonstrate knowledge and experience of at least one of three key sectors 鈥� namely food and drink, tourism and energy, particularly offshore.
