(05:58) What opportunities are there for the energy transition in Scotland for supply chain development? (08:17) How are skills mismatches affecting the transition to net zero? Is this affecting your business? (10:11) How have you adapted your business during COVID, and how might that shape your operations in the future? (13:03) Have you noticed a change in the desire from companies to really be green and socially responsible in recent years?
