The Business, distributed with Sunday Times Scotland, is delighted to announce its first DealTrack DealMakers’ Business Breakfast in Aberdeen in January 2026. So far, we’ve secured two brilliant panels who we’re certain will deliver fabulous insight into the complexity of the green energy transition. Two more leading panellists from the green energy industry are due to be confirmed.

The event is at The Marcliffe Hotel, Aberdeen, on Wednesday 21st January, from 8am until 11am. This event is for dealmakers, including legal professionals, company business leaders looking at opportunities, and anyone interested in the wider growth and development of the electrification revolution now transforming the UK.

The Business Editor Kenny Kemp says: “We’ve held a number of very popular business breakfasts in Edinburgh and Glasgow with several great panels, where there is free-flowing discussion. Now we’re excited about hosting our breakfast at the legendary Marcliffe in Aberdeen. It will be a unique chance to hear Dan McGrail talk about GB Energy’s plans for Scotland, while the insights of Gerry McGurk, one of the UK’s most successful energy infrastructure engineers, are not to be missed.”
