Scottish Secretary David Mundell will today meet Highland businesses as part of the UK Government’s work to prepare for the EU withdrawal negotiations.
The Tory frontbencher will visit the Cairngorm Brewery in Aviemore and then hold a roundtable in Inverness with companies from a range of fields.
He will also speak at the Scottish Council for Development and Industry Highlands and Islands business excellence awards.
Mr Mundell, who is Scotland’s only Conservative MP, said he wanted to hear about firms’ priorities going forward post-Brexit.
He added: “We are determined to take a Team UK approach, working closely with the Scottish Government and other partners as we form our negotiating strategy.
“At every step of the way, the UK Government will work to ensure the best possible outcome for every part of Scotland and the whole of the UK.
“Scotland, and the rest of the UK, will always be outward-looking and globally-minded.
“We are very much open for business. Our economic position is a strong one, with employment high and the deficit down by nearly two-thirds.
“That is a strong basis from which to move forward as we forge a new role for ourselves in the world.”
