BWS Top 100 Awards Lunch

31st October 2025 | Grand Central Hotel, Glasgow

Scotland is home to so many incredible women, whether working within organisations or running their own businesses, who truly deserve recognition for their achievements and contributions. That’s why we created the BWS Top 100 List — to celebrate these worthy women and the amazing businesses they lead.

How It Works

The process is simple and inclusive. Anyone can nominate or self-nominate to be featured on the list. If you believe someone deserves to be recognised, you can submit a nomination on their behalf. We then reach out to nominees to confirm they’re happy to be considered.

Our judges carefully review all nominations and select the final Top 10, who will be revealed at the Awards Lunch on 31st October 2025.

What to Expect

Join us for a fun and inspiring lunch featuring a keynote speaker who will motivate and energise, plus entertainment from the fantastic Edward Reid to keep the energy high.

Celebrate success, connect with like-minded women, and enjoy a memorable afternoon dedicated to championing women in business across Scotland.
