Barry McCulloch

Personal news klaxon 🚨🚨😂 This week is the start of a new adventure as I join @BritishBBank and take up the role of senior manager in Scotland. I’m super excited to join the Bank and support Scotland’s amazing small business community😊🥳 insider.co.uk/appointments/n…

@PEARLSPetCare Thanks Pearl. Hope you're well 👍👍

@FSB_DRichardson @JimAitken_FSB @HighlandCouncil @HIEScotland @BritishBBank Wonderful, beautiful historic building to hold a key #FSBEvent in partnership with @HighlandCouncil @HIEScotland @BritishBBank 'Unlocking Growth: Debt Finance Roadshow'. Please pass my warmest regards to @BarryMcCulloch Also a wee 👋 or two 👋 to you and @JimAitken_FSB

With ⁦@JimAitken_FSB⁩ in Inverness’ amazing Town House awaiting start of British Business Bank’s ‘Unlocking Growth: Debt Finance Roadshow’. Delighted to be partnering ⁦⁦@HighlandCouncil⁩ & ⁩ ⁦@HIEScotland supporting this key event⁩ ⁦@BritishBBank⁩

A big thanks to you for pulling this together 👍👍👍 Yes, there are challenges facing small businesses but their ingenuity, creativity and resilience means the Highlands and Islands economy is in good hands

@FSB_DavidG @FSB_Scotland Bring it in!

Good to see our old pal @BarryMcCulloch at this joint @FSB_Scotland @FSB_Wales @FSB_NI with the @BritishBBank. 👀 for #Funding help, check out our fsbfundingplatform.co.uk

@BrianMcleish Yes!

Belfast looked stunning today 📸

Great to see so many people join @scaleupinst and @BritishBBank today at the “Raising Scaleup capital” event in Scotland. Find out more about other regional events on our twitter feed. #scaleupfinance #scaleup #scaling

@RobGirvan Good luck!!!!

Going on a seven hour train journey with the three kids today.

@susandlove Let's retitle this post: chronicles of a remote worker 😂

Starting off the week with a high dose of excitement with a *new mouse*. It’s allegedly more ergonomic - see if that’ll stop the old bones creaking.

@MCrothall The mess at the top of Waverley Steps is so perfectly placed that it will almost certainly be the first thing a tourist will see if arriving by rail

Not the sight you want to see as a visitor or a resident when you step out of Waverley Station onto the streets of Edinburgh - #1stimpressionscount #notgood4tourism #notgood4Scotland #notgood4anyone This strike needs sorted and quick !

@ScottWWright @_HeraldBusiness Great interview about a fantastic distillery. Arran is so compact that you can easily visit Lochranza and Lagg during a weekend visit 🥃🥃

Enjoyed a really interesting chat with Graham Omand of Lagg Distillery on the southern tip of #Arran for today's @_HeraldBusiness Monday Interview heraldscotland.com/business_hq/20… #Scotch #whisky #singlemalt

@SAMackinnon @FSB_Scotland And in all that time, you probably made @susandlove and I about three coffees - if that. Enjoy your time off before your next adventure, knowing that you put in one hell of a shift 👏

Tomorrow is my last day at @FSB_Scotland. 14 years, 3 referendums, two rates revaluations, a financial crash, a pandemic, and a million case study requests later. Making the case for Scotland’s independent businesses has been a blast! 🚀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏪

@susandlove Oh yes!!!

@BarryMcCulloch @StartUpLoansUK We’re going here for our next coffee….

There’s a fantastic new start-up in the West End of Glasgow opening this Thursday & you need to check it out. Pastéis Lisboa will be Scotland’s first ever specialist pastelaria - and finance from @StartUpLoansUK helped turn this idea into a reality glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/scottish-…

@PEARLSPetCare @colin_borland @SAMackinnon Great idea!

@BarryMcCulloch @StartUpLoansUK Wonder if @colin_borland will make it there for a sweet treat for #foodie @SAMackinnon as part of goodbye and thank you from @FSB_Scotland ?

Amid what was a big week for the tech sector in Scotland, it was great to see new @BritishBBank, @UKRI_News & @innovateuk research. It was the second year in a row that Scotland was top for equity investment deals in university spinouts 🚀 Read more 👉bit.ly/3Pq4gG0

@susandlove @BrianMcleish That's a big factor, however I wouldn't discount the lack of interest. Let's be honest, few men have any interest in being a fully committed father

@BrianMcleish It’s mostly the ££ though isn’t it? If the mum works and is already on reduced wage (I only got 90% pay for 6 weeks, rest was stat minimum so we had to save everything for the preceding 6 months to survive mat leave) then dad also on 2 weeks’ stat might not be possible, no?

@colin_borland When can I come round?

Right. Office locked up, out-of-office on, kids ready to party - holiday starts here! See you in a fortnight….

@FSB_DRichardson Hugely impressive 👏👏

Very proud of my son’s Herculean effort in the recent Moray Ways 100 mile ultramarathon. He came second in just over 19 hours, having run 101.75 miles by mistake! imnews.mydigitalnewspaper.com/viewarticles/H… For more great content like this subscribe to the HNM App app here: hnmedia.co.uk/subscribe

@mhairiclarke @FourTet Parallel was my soundtrack for 2021. It's perfection

Obsessed with this track @FourTet Play it again and again and again… it is ALMOST the holidays. ☀️

Brodick Castle makes my top ten best places in Scotland. It's a spectacular place 🏰 #Arran
