Sarah Heaney, President of Scottish Women in Business, said: 

“The SWIB Awards 2024 are an opportunity to celebrate the successes of women in business in Scotland and the people and organisations who support them. 

“Success is a team sport and this year we want to recognise the individuals, organisations, and teams who empower and inspire women to success. 

“I am constantly inspired by our members and their dedication to creating positive change in their businesses and communities, and I encourage them to celebrate their successes by nominating themselves or those who have contributed to their journey”. 

Julie Morrison, one of the founders of Baby Loss Retreat, added: 

“We are pleased that Scottish Women in Business are supporting our charity. 

“The loss of a baby can be an overwhelming time and the money that SWIB helps raise will be used to provide a range of free services and support to families experiencing the pain of baby loss.”
