The fourth Enterprise Partnership Scotland (EPS) scheme is now looking for businesses and entrepreneurs to apply for the project. Successful applicants will benefit from advice, support and expertise from a range of specialists, across a number of sectors, including finance, marketing human resources and recruitment, law and public relations.

At the November launch of EPS 4, Carolyn Maniukiewicz said: "Our previous three projects have attracted a fantastic response, with a range of businesses from across a number of sectors benefiting from our free of charge mentoring scheme.

The diversity of companies is what makes this project such an exciting and worthwhile initiative. Our sponsors are all experts in their fields and being able to benefit from their wealth of knowledge and experience provides such a great opportunity for the businesses taking part in the scheme, especially as this is all free of charge
