Rok To Boost Stirling Economy

Rok is using its strong regional position business links to help boost the Stirling economy.

The company is hosting the latest in a series of successful partnership events, bringing together local businesses to help build mutually beneficial relationships.

Rok has had a presence across the area for a number of years but with the founding of a new regional office in the city earlier this year, the company is actively seeking to develop partnerships with other businesses as a way to growing the local market. An earlier introduction seminar was so over subscribed that the company has decided to hold this second event to allow more people to attend.

The event is being held in conjunction with Forth Construction, a business support organisation which is jointly funded by Scottish Enterprise and Clackmannanshire Council. Rok became the 250th member to join the group earlier this year.

Andy McLinden, Rok Stirling's area leader said: "Rok's influence in this region is growing all the time and we pride ourselves on being Scotland's local builder. Central Scotland has a healthy and diverse economy and we will strive to be an active part in that business community, creating links not only with other companies but with the wider community as well. Our membership of Forth Construction is indicative of our plans to develop long-term prosperity and partnership opportunities throughout the region."

Martin Reid, spokesman for Forth Construction said: "The earlier breakfast seminar hosted by Rok was a huge success and I am thrilled that they have decided to put on a second event for those who were unable to attend the first time round. We are currently exploring a number of innovative initiatives with Rok and other forum partners as we build long-term relationships throughout the area. Rok is a reputable and high profile company and has become a welcome addition to Forth Construction."
