'Unsung Hero' Recognised For Lifetime Commitment

One of Scotland’s most influential hotel figures has been recognised for “a lifetime of commitment, dedication and achievement” in a new report.

Fiona Leckie, head of projects and interiors at the Crieff Hydro Family of Hotels, has been named as an ‘Unsung Hero’ in the inaugural Women in Family Business list by industry body Family Business United.

The report aims to recognise the contribution of female leaders within family-run businesses across the UK, while acknowledging their impact on their wider communities and contributions to their sector.

Fiona was commended for her responsibility for the projects and interiors portfolio across the eight hotels within the Crieff Hydro Family Of Hotels.

She also received a ‘Lifetime Contribution’ recognition for her presence both in the boardroom and around the family table, particularly for her role in mentoring their four children as part of the succession plans for the business.

Fiona Leckie, Head of Projects and Interiors at the Crieff Hydro Family of Hotels, said:

“What an honour to be recognised in this inaugural report alongside some of the most influential businesswomen across the country."

“Reports such as this are incredibly important in cementing the role of women in business, while highlighting some of the challenges that still face us today."

“I’m looking forward to continuing to work with members of our Board and across the Crieff Hydro Family of Hotels to ensure we can deliver the skills required for the leaders of the future to thrive, regardless of their gender.”
