One of Scotland’s most influential hotel figures, Fiona Leckie, has been recognised for ‘a lifetime of commitment, dedication and achievement’ in a new report.
Head of projects and interiors at the eight-strong Crieff Hydro Family of Hotels, Ms Leckie was named as an ‘Unsung Hero’ in the inaugural Women in Family Business list by industry body Family Business United.
The FBU report is intended to recognise the contribution of female leaders within family-run businesses across the UK, acknowledging their impact on their wider communities and contributions to their sector.
Fiona also received a ‘Lifetime Contribution’ recognition for her presence both in the boardroom and around the family table, particularly for her role in mentoring her four children as part of the succession plans for the business.
She said: “What an honour to be recognised in this inaugural report alongside some of the most influential businesswomen across the country.
“Reports such as this are incredibly important in cementing the role of women in business, while highlighting some of the challenges that still face us today.
“I’m looking forward to continuing to work with members of our Board and across the Crieff Hydro Family of Hotels to ensure we can deliver the skills required for the leaders of the future to thrive, regardless of their gender.”
