SWA launches 2012 training programme

THE Scottish Wholesale Association (SWA) is delighted to unveil its 2012 training programme.

This year's programme, which gets under way this week (Tuesday, 31st January) with an Employment Law Update delivered by Dundas & Wilson, looks at recent changes in employment law that will have an impact on how you handle certain employment situations.
