“RSA continues to play a crucial role in our pipeline of support to
businesses and can make a critical impact in areas of Scotland like North
Ayrshire which have Assisted Area status.”
“Across the whole of North Ayrshire RSA is helping to create and safeguard
jobs and aid business investment – all vital to a strong local economy.”
“I hope that other businesses in North Ayrshire will be encouraged to
consider what the RSA scheme can do to support their future development and
growth and help stimulate the creation of more employment opportunities or
retain existing opportunities for local people” said Mr Wilson.
