Headline Sponsor
“As a passionate advocate of diversity and inclusion within technology, Morgan Stanley is proud to be the Headline Sponsor for the Scotland Women in Technology Awards. Morgan Stanley’s Technology division benefits from having a number of women in senior leadership roles, as well as a growing Women in Tech community, and we are excited to help celebrate and recognise the achievements of women in tech across Scotland. “
Inclusive Recruiter of the Year Harvey Nash Leidos i-confidential “This award recognises the best in fair and inclusive recruitment. At Hymans Robertson, we're dedicated to creating a diverse and inclusive work environment where all can thrive. We're proud to celebrate organisations that prioritise equal opportunities and success for all.”
Technology Rising Star
Kinga Juhasz – JP Morgan Debbie Kerr – M&G Abbie McCallum – Natwest Carla Chiodi – 2i Testing “As a large tech employer based in Scotland, we're so excited to be partnering with SWiT and sponsoring the Technology Rising Star award. We are actively looking to bring in new and diverse tech talent into Lloyds Banking Group and are proud to sponsor an award which celebrates new and exciting talent.”
Large Employer of the Year
xDesign Leidos M&G “On behalf of Nine Twenty Recruitment, it is with great pleasure and honour that we show our appreciation for the opportunity to sponsor the Large Employer of the Year Award. As a company we are committed to diversity, inclusion, and technological innovation, we are delighted to support SWiT, who recognizes and celebrates the exceptional contributions of women in the technology industry.”
Technology Champion in Education Toni Scullion - DressCode Christine Lester - JP Morgan Sam Blyth - Edinburgh College Anthony Harkins - St Aloysius College “Techscaler, by CodeBase, is excited to sponsor the Technology Champion in Education Category at the Scottish Women in Tech Awards because education is a key proponent in driving forward the gender parity agenda in tech. Women currently only occupy 24% of tech roles in the UK, and only 16% of computer science students are female. Evidence shows that greater diversity in tech and business drives innovation and greater business success. By ensuring there are greater education opportunities for girls and women, we are able to give them the skills, confidence and knowledge to change the status quo and drive greater inclusion and success in tech.”
Young Tech Champion of the Year Hannah Fairlie - Barclays Rohini Syed - Barclays Lauren Lawson - Leidos Maria Elizabeth Hughes - Morgan Stanley “Junior tech talent plays an important part in the ongoing success of our organisation, and we deeply value the fresh perspectives and skills they bring to the workplace. Being able to come together to celebrate technology talent at events like this, is important for the continued growth of our business, in addition to enhancing our overall culture. For that reason we are very proud to be sponsoring the Young Tech Champion of the Year Award as part of the 2023 SWiT Awards.”
SME Employer of the Year
Stellar Omada 2i Testing Nucleus Financial “Harvey Nash is delighted to sponsor SME Employer of the Year for SWIT’s 2023 Awards. SMEs are a vital part of Scotland’s business and technology landscape, blazing the way for innovation and adapting rapidly to facilitate growth. We’ve had the pleasure of partnering with SMEs across Financial, Legal and Health Technology, and placing the best talent to expand their teams, augment their capabilities and achieve their ambitions”
