Dundee solicitor celebrates successful launch of new collaborative platform

More than 80 people attended last night’s launch of a new Tayside-based collaborative platform co-founded by a Dundee solicitor.Societay has been set up by Thorntons solicitor Chris Gardiner, alongside Andy McGill and Daniel Rosie, to bring together individuals and businesses from different sectors in an informal setting.

Over the next year, the trio aim to host monthly events in the city, ranging from creative cafés, workshops, dinners and talks.

Mr Gardiner said: “It’s great that so many people have taken an interest in what we are doing. The landscape of Dundee is changing really quickly and attracting a lot of interesting people to the city who are opening design businesses and third sector organisations. From a legal point of view, it’s creating a lot of interesting work.

“We want to bring people from the business sector together with those from the creative and third sector to see how we can help each other move the city forward.”

The three co-founders added: “We identified a real need for a relaxed, collaborative platform within the city and that’s how Societay was born. We hope to bring the city together through connecting people and places in Dundee and outwards across Tayside.

“Ultimately, we hope that we have created an inspiring platform that Dundee as a city can be proud of and we hope to provide real motivation for the people of Dundee and Tayside to support the positive social changes happening within the city.”

The launch evening was sponsored by the White Goose in Dundee and SDUK Photography.
