Featured Member: Owen Phlipson

More Coffee? Owen Philipson of ESI Ltd a digital publisher for the construction industry, has started a new group for digital creatives in the Stirling and Central Scotland region. It's still in its infancy but you are welcome to join the Stirling Coffee Morning group, a chance to meet and exchange ideas with like-minded colleagues.
The digital coffee morning began as an Edinburgh phenomenon when local digital enthusiasts from informatics and digital agencies met in George Street's Centotre, cafe in 2007. Glasgow followed in 2008. Dundee already had its own drunken variants and now it's Stirling's turn.

Featured Group: Wanted

Wanted is the most popular group in the 38minutes network. It was started by Dave Brown who wanted to encourage people to post jobs, opposrtunities, freelance openings and share skills. Join Wanted here. Stay in touch there are new postings and opportunities virtually every day.
