SCDI has always maintained an active interest in London, providing opportunities for regular interface and debate with London-based members, national organisations and Westminster.
SCDI’s London Committee was relaunched in 2010, and aims to raise the level of SCDI’s activity and engagement in London, involving its network of contacts actively as a forum for policy and issue-based discussion; to champion the SCDI and Scottish message in London; and to help communicate current Scottish business, economic and political developments to key decision-makers.
If you have a presence in London, or have colleagues/contacts who might be interested in our London programme, please contact iain.mctaggart@scdi.org.uk

| Members' Event at The Telegraph - 25 October 2010 |
| We organised an SCDI seminar, kindly hosted by Telegraph Media Group at the prestigious Telegraph Building with its state of the art, integrated newsroom. This event focussed on reputation and perceptions of Scotland through the media perspective, and the impact of the evolving media environment. We are delighted that Murdoch MacLennan, Chief Executive, gave his personal welcome and perspective, and that Ben Brogan, Deputy Editor, amplified this with his further insights into the subject. |
