Accolades are up from grabs in the categories of communication, connecting, collaboration, innovation and nurturing emerging talent.

In addition, the Celebrity Spotlight award will go to a high-profile woman either working in or from Scotland who inspires others to “achieve even greater results”.

And the Spirit of Scottish Women in Business title, to be judged by present and past SWiB presidents, will be awarded to the member who has “demonstrated the attributes of communicating, connecting and collaborating”.
