Former shadow chancellor Ed Balls will host the annual Scottish Financial Enterprise (SFE) Awards in Glasgow next month.
He will be joined by Dame Anne Richards, chair of TheCityUK and chief executive of Fidelity International, who will deliver a keynote address to more than 600 senior representatives of the industry.
The speakers were announced at the same time as the shortlist. A record 73 nominations have been submitted for this year’s ceremony, which is sponsored by EY.
