The Business - 29/03/2009

As another Scottish financial institution bites the dust, the man who broke the story - our business and economy editor Douglas Fraser - tells us what's next for the Dunfermline Building Society. The first conference in Scotland to focus on Islamic finance takes place in Edinburgh this week. Graham Burnside, partner at law firm Tods Murray, which is hosting the conference, outlines the opportunities for Scottish fund managers. Ralph Lauren's Group President of Europe and the Middle East is Glasgow-born Brian Duffy. Our business correspondent Hayley Millar caught up with him ahead of the £9.5m relaunch of the fashion retailer's Glasgow store. And, with two companies vying to site data centres in Dumfries and Galloway, we ask why the area is so attractive to the IT sector. David King of Lockerbie Data Centres talks about his plans, along with Donald McLaughlin, general manager for Cisco Scotland, who've been advising the company.
