Hazel Moffat received the Services to Law award for the second year in a row.
Scottish Chambers of Commerce Chief Executive Dr Liz Cameron OBE congratulated both the winners and finalists at the Ceremony, in particular extending her congratulations to Hazel, Sarah and Alison, saying: “It is worth highlighting that there is plenty of evidence to show that emphasis on diversity is key to business and economic success.
