Former Aegon HR chief honoured with award for Outstanding Contribution to Scottish HR

The winners of this year’s hugely exciting and much anticipated Hr NETWORK National Awards 2022 in partnership with Roffey Park Institute were announced at the ‘star-studded’ annual Gala Dinner, held at the impressive Hilton Glasgow on Thursday evening.

The event, the largest of its kind for HR professionals anywhere in Scotland, which historically attracts around 800 guests, attracted a post-COVID guest list of around 700+ guests on Thursday evening to recognise, acknowledge and reward the champions of the Scottish HR profession showcased winners including: Business Stream (Corporate Responsibility Award) VisitScotland (HR Team) and Aegon UK’s former HR Director Gill Scott, who was presented with the Award for Outstanding Contribution to Scottish HR.

The Gala Dinner theme was a remembrance theme in recognition of the Armistice Day with Poppies scattered throughout the design on the evening and the flagship event for HR professionals across the whole of Scotland was once again hosted by radio & TV presenter and broadcaster Stephen Jardine.

The coveted Outstanding Contribution to Scottish HR award was presented to Gill Scott for her commitment and dedication to the HR Director role she took up in 2010.
