This year's Deals and Dealmakers Awards will include a new category, the Diversity and Inclusion Award.
It aims to recognise a company, team or individual which embraces diversity, giving examples of recent work towards inclusion within Scotland's deal-making community. The category covers excellence in areas including gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, race and religion.
The award is presented in partnership with Scottish Enterprise, which joins several other sponsors of the ceremony, including Livingston James for Emerging Dealmaker of the Year, PIB Insurance for Transformational Deal of the Year, RBC Brewin Dolphin for Early Stage Deal of the Year, Dow Schofield Watts for Sale of the Year, and Evelyn Partners as support partner.
