2024 ASB National Awards

Every year, the Association of Scottish Businesswomen holds an annual awards event to celebrate the achievements of women in business across Scotland. 

 

“This annual event is designed to honour the innovation, resilience, and contributions of female entrepreneurs and professionals who excel in their fields and make significant impacts within their industries and communities.” Association of Scottish Businesswomen

 

The awards are an opportunity for us as businesswomen to take a moment to pause on all the achievements we have made across the year. (Go on, give yourself some praise!)

 

This was the first year Fife Women in Business attended the awards since rejoining the ASB earlier in 2024. Every affiliate group was represented and submissions received from members of every affiliate group.

 

In total over 80 entries across 8 award categories were received, independently judged, and winners announced in Perth in front of almost 100 Scottish business women! Quite the turn out.

 

We are delighted to share that our very own Sarah Thomson – Och Aye Canoe – won Businesswoman of the Year 2024! 

 

Make sure you get your award submissions in for next year’s event.
