Over the festive
period, Nisus Scotland welcomed Leith born entrepreneur Sir Tom
Farmer to our Centre based in an area where Sir Tom played as
a boy!
At our Annual Graduation Ceremony held in the summer when he
awarded certificates to all our graduating trainees, Sir Tom
expressed an interest in finding out what we offered in the heart
of Leith, where he was raised.

Sir Tom’s visit included touring the Centre, speaking
with several trainees and socialising with staff and trainees
over some mulled wine and mince pies.
The highlight of the visit was an interview given by Sir Tom
to Skilltech project trainees for their newsletter Skills4Life.
To
access a copy of Skills4Life, including the interview see the Skilltech section of our
website. Sir Tom commented:
“I really enjoyed the visit and I was very
impressed with the training projects you have in place. It was
also good to have the
opportunity of meeting with the trainees and some of the staff
who all seemed to be highly-motivated,
enthusiastic people”.
