Testimonials
Since coming across BPS back in 2019, I have been provided with a unique opportunity to expand my network and meet other talented Black Professionals within Scotland. I have attended various BPS events ranging from getting on to the property ladder to digital innovation which have all been very inspiring.
BPS brings together a diverse community with a wide range of experiences. The Group is well organised - sections of the events are kept informal which pushes open discussions and interaction.
