Specialist communications consultancy Perceptive Communicators is celebrating following an evening of success at the Scottish Women’s Awards 2018 where Managing Director, Julie McLauchlan scooped the top award for Business Women of the Year (under 50 employees).

Established in 2006, Perceptive is a multi-award winning full service communications consultancy specialising in construction, technology and healthcare, with clients including Kier Construction, Mactaggart & Mickel, Bayes Centre, Stratified Medicine Scotland Innovation Centre, and Clyde Gateway. The top award win comes after an announcement of sustained business growth for the Glasgow based agency.

Julie was delighted to receive the award, saying: “I was really honoured to be shortlisted amongst Scotland’s top 10 business women and is a great tribute to my fantastic great team.  When we launched 12 years ago we broke the mould by employing exclusively experienced staff who had all been clients themselves to deliver better results. We focused on just a few sectors to have deeper insight and encouraged flexible working to create a more engaged team.  I was told several times this approach would never work, so winning this top award proves not being afraid to rock the boat and listening to your instincts ­­­­can lead to success!­”

The Scottish Women’s Awards exist to acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of women entrepreneurs, business women, professionals, civil servants, women in uniform, charity workers and many more that make Scotland a greater place to live in.  The black-tie event was held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Glasgow on Wednesday evening.
