There was also a discussion on building a sustainable venture in the circular economy with business owners Stephanie Foulds of The Eco Larder, Nina Falk of Kalopsia Collective, and Suzie Millar of Scottish Bee Company.

Susan Harkins, head of Business Gateway Edinburgh, said: “Today was a fantastic celebration of women coming together to support each other in business and hearing from inspiring women who make an incredible impact on the economy.”

Applications are open for the organisation’s next Women in Business Growth Programme.
