IoD Scotland Director of the Year Awards

Thursday 18th March 2010 | Sheraton Grand Hotel, Edinburgh

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 finalists have just been announced and the winners from each of the categories will be presented with their individual trophies, designed and produced by Caithness Glass, at the Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony on Thursday 18th March at the Sheraton Grand Hotel in Edinburgh.
