New Year…New Skills
Happy New Year! January is always a time for reflection and resolutions – as we continue to adapt to change, this year also brings us more opportunities to upskill, retrain and develop your career.
The move to an increasingly online working world has opened up many new flexible learning opportunities. With more funding available, and with so much change in the air, it’s a really good time to add to your work skills.
Lochaber Chamber of Commerce’s specially designed ‘One Lochaber leadership course’ will once again give new or existing managers the chance to work towards a Chartered Management Institute qualification in leadership skills, working online together with others from local businesses. It’s a great chance to develop your leadership and gain CMI accreditation for your management skills while working in a supportive online community of other students who are studying part-time through their work.

Each week, we ask small businesses key questions. Here we speak to Eilidh Marshall, director and co-founder of Inverness firms Whale-like-fish and A Whale of a Time
Q. How and why did you start in business?
A. Helen Ross and I started Whale-like-fish in Inverness in February 2019, having worked together at another PR agency for a few years. We saw a gap in the market to help more businesses access PR services by using a new business model that moved away from day rates. Instead, we created a price list for each of our services and applied a more consumer-friendly model, which includes a loyalty scheme. Our clients are rewarded for repeat business and know exactly what they’re paying for each service in advance.
