"I set up the Aberdeen Young Professionals group to allow like minded people to meet in a relaxing and informative manner. The events the group organises allows people to meet others who they may have never had the chance to meet before from various sectors in Aberdeen City and Shire. I am delighted the group has gone from strength to strength."
