The interviews will be taking place on Thursday the 9th of November at The Raeburn Hotel in Stockbridge, our thanks to them for hosting us in their private dining room and library.  We wish all of our finalists the very best of luck with their interviews with the Judging Panel – Executive Team Ambassadors Stuart Hunter (Chair), Dougie Walker, Mike Christopherson, Pete Higgins and Val Wishart of Beyond The Numbers. 

Tickets are on sale now for the Awards Dinner which is taking place on Friday the 24th of November at the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa so don’t delay in booking for the best night in November celebrating the success of Scotland’s entrepreneurs.  It’s the ideal mix of business and fun and a great way to meet the WeDO community of entrepreneurs and business leaders.
