The Scottish Salmon Company’s MD, Craig Anderson, has been shortlisted in two categories of this year’s Director of the Year Awards.
Craig, who joined The Scottish Salmon Company in 2013, is a finalist for ‘Director of the Year of a business with a turnover over £15m’ and the ‘Edinburgh, Lothians and the Borders Director of the Year Award’.
The awards, run by IDS, recognise individuals whose creativity, leadership and responsible business practices have led to success for their organisation and the Scottish community.
David Watt, Executive Director of IDS, commented: “Quality leadership is the very definition of success within our businesses, civic institutions and third sector organisations, and for the Director of the Year Awards we will celebrate the very best of Scotland’s directors – the inspirers, visionaries, innovators and strategists that make Scottish businesses prosper.”
Craig said: “I am humbled to have been shortlisted for such a prestigious award and to be named alongside such exemplary business figures.
“The Scottish Salmon Company is really proud of the role it plays in supporting the Scottish economy and the remote and rural communities in which it operates.
“The business has had a transformational last few years and is now very much a thriving food business, with our ethos of pride, passion and provenance still very much at the heart of the company.”
In total 42 Scottish business leaders have successfully reached the final stages of the competition and will compete across nine main categories and six regional categories.
The Awards take place at Glasgow’s Crowne Plaza Hotel on Thursday 17 March.
