We found the Digital Marketing and Networking event at the Centre for Sustainable Development really enjoyable, interesting and very informative. The presentation from Jamie at HOWTO.MARKETING was excellent and a really insightful. The ongoing support that we are receiving from South Lanarkshire College is very much appreciated.

“Our collaboration with New College Lanarkshire`s CLIC programme has been invaluable. From the initial consultation their team expertly identified key areas where we could enhance productivity and expand our digital capabilities. Their insights and guidance gave us the confidence to implement practical solutions that would benefit our staff and customers. This partnership has not only delivered immediate improvements, but also established a valuable ongoing relationship with the college that will continue to benefit Altogether Travel in the future.”
