IoD Scotland Director of the Year Awards
Launched in 2004, the IoD Scotland Director of the Year Awards Scheme was created to recognise and celebrate the exceptional achievements of individuals at director level from a whole spectrum of the business community in Scotland. The IoD firmly believes that it is important for business leaders in Scotland to be recognised for their achievements. We think it fitting that their leadership and the contribution it makes to business success and Scotland’s prosperity is publicly acknowledged.
The 2009 category winners were presented with their trophies, designed and produced by Caithness Glass, at the Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony on Thursday 18th March at the Sheraton Grand Hotel, Edinburgh, which was attended by over 300 guests.
Details for the 2010 Awards Ceremony (March 2011) will be available shortly. Nominations for each of the categories for 2010
can be submitted now and will be acknowledged upon receipt.
