AN EDINBURGH business has been named as one of 14 ground-breaking business trailblazers in Scotland by WIRED Magazine and HSBC UK.
Finance sector recruitment specialist Core-Asset Consulting was identified as an innovative, fast-growth scale-up that is helping to “lead the conversation” on major social, economic and environmental issues.
The Edinburgh firm has joined a community which features the likes of Skyrora, an Edinburgh-based rocket company and Numan, a health app devoted to tackling the stigma around men’s health.
To celebrate, Core-Asset founder Betsy Williamson joined senior leaders from the other Scottish trailblazers for a networking event to discuss ways in which to spread the message of sustainability in business.
Betsy said: “The trailblazing event brought together the very best of innovative business leaders across a number of different sectors.
“Everyone was conscious about how to make Scottish business more sustainable as well as socially and economically progressive.
“It was great to hear about a number of companies which were not just surviving through this economic uncertainty, but thriving.
“Being named as a WIRED Trailblazer, and identified as one of the UK’s most innovative and inspiring businesses is a tremendous honour.
“We will continue to do all we can to raise awareness of socio-economic issues in the Scottish workplace.”
Core-Asset has joined 73 other businesses across the UK to be named in the first cohort of WIRED Trailblazers.
The WIRED Trailblazer hub is a place in which other business leaders can get help and advice from the thoughts and insights of the community.
Core-Asset Consulting was formed in 2005. Initially the firm carved its reputation in Scotland’s globally-renowned asset management sector, but has now expanded across the wider financial services market.
