Yesterday members of the aabw attended the ASB Awards Dinner and Conference in Aberdeen to support the Ayrshire finalists.

We spent the afternoon with 40+ business women participating in a coaching session from Martha Simpson and hearing advice from a selected panel of professional women from TIPS, Thorpe Molloy, Larosco & Befriend a Child.

We all then dressed up for the evening’s award ceremony and dinner at the Elphinstone Hall hosted by the Aberdeen Business Network (abn).

Our nominee for the ASB Employee of the Year Heather Dunk, Principal of Kilmarnock College, won a special highly commended award.

The ladies who were nominated for 3 other awards were worthy finalists, being runners-up and taking home a well deserved certificate for their efforts in business and partnerships.

 Thank you abn for a superb day!

AABW members and their guests were treated to an extra special summer event on Tuesday, with an exclusive evening visit to INNOVA in Glasgow.  INNOVA crafts tailored clothing to fit every individual, by:

• a bodyscanner which creates a 3D virtual model of your bodyshape

• colour analysis to determine which shades of colour suit you

• ordering on-line with a selected style of clothing from their range

• and your garments are made to fit you

Thank you Jenny and your staff for making us feel so welcome and for the delightful refreshments
