GHA Business Scrum

GHA Business Scrum is a dynamic event series designed to bring together the Southside’s thriving business community – creating a space to learn, connect and champion our rugby club.

Held every second month at Braidholm, each session focuses on a topic that matters to local organisations. Attendees hear directly from expert speakers, join in open Q&A discussions, and network with other business leaders, entrepreneurs and professionals from across the local and neighbouring communities.

Our first two events explored Artificial Intelligence and the business landscape ahead of the May 2026 Scottish Parliament elections – two very different but highly relevant themes. More than 50 guests attended each session, demonstrating the appetite within our community for insightful, local engagement. We look forward to welcoming even more participants as the series grows throughout 2026.

We are delighted to partner with Thorntons, who have supported the launch of the series. Their involvement brings specialist legal insight to each topic- for example, data protection considerations within AI – adding depth and real‑world context to our discussions.

Thorntons have long been valued supporters of GHA Rugby Club and our community, and we are thrilled to collaborate with them on this exciting new initiative.

A Space for Ideas, Expertise & Community

Every Business Scrum offers something unique:

Diverse topics: from technology and economic trends to sector‑specific insights and community issues.
A broad mix of attendees: business owners, senior leaders, start‑ups, professionals, and those looking to expand their networks.
High‑calibre speakers: academics, industry experts, legal specialists, political commentators and leaders from across Scotland.

These events are designed to be informative, interactive and energising – giving people an opportunity to make meaningful connections while learning something new.

Opportunities for sponsors and supporters
