As a female founder, it was a welcome opportunity to be a panellist at an event at the Scottish Parliament encouraging the diversity of contributions at Holyrood. Organised by Women's Enterprise Scotland and the Institute of Directors, this event is part of a wider mission to ensure all voices are heard at the Scottish Parliament, including at Cross Party Groups (CPGs). As well as other forms of diversity, gender was a hot topic of discussion. Several MSPs including Michelle Thomson, Fiona Hyslop, Maggie Chapman and Presiding Officer Alison Johnstone were very keen to achieve a more equal and accurate representation of views of the Scottish population.
