A woman from Moray has received a reward in recognition of her support of local business owners.

Ms Williamson was selected from a competitive pool of nominees submitted by business owners who have directly benefited from the guidance and expertise of Business Gateway’s dedicated advisers.
She was praised for her “valuable business skills and knowledge” by business owners who also noted that she is “always available to help and be a sounding board”.
