Lothians Women in Business Luncheon

Our next Lothians Women in Business Luncheon will be held on Wednesday 8th May at Dalhousie Castle. Organised by the Midlothian & East Lothian Chamber of Commerce in association with West Lothian Chamber, the event aims to bring ambitious women together to network, learn and grow. The Lothian Women in Business network is about building a strong supportive network for women in business through connection, opportunity, and community.

Our guest speaker is Amanda Stewart, Managing Director & CTO of Edinburgh-based MSP (managed service provider), Illuminate, which supports local businesses and charities and has a strong focus on prioritising customer service and protecting against the real business threat of cyber attacks. She started the business 16 years ago, when her daughter was six months old to give herself the flexibility her employer wouldn’t. At that point it was a lifestyle business so she could be available for her kids. She has worked in IT for over 30 years and before Illuminate managed several teams of IT professionals in different IT Manager roles.

Amanda will talk about juggling being a mother and a business owner in a relatively male dominated industry. She'll also highlight the importance of Cyber Security awareness for your business.

*Cost to include a pre lunch soft drink,  a two course lunch with tea / coffee
