ClinTec’s CEO, Dr Rabinder Buttar wins the Institute of Directors, Director of the Year Award for Glasgow & West of Scotland
Dr Buttar picked up the Regional Award for Glasgow & West of Scotland during the exclusive event held at Edinburgh’s Grand Sheraton Hotel and attended by over 300 guests. Kaye Adams, journalist and former lead presenter of Loose Women, and John Swinney, MSP for North Tayside and Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Sustainable Growth in the Scottish Government, presented the prestigious awards ceremony.
The IOD Awards celebrate the successes of Scotland’s business leaders and acknowledge the vision and courage the directors have shown in 2009 to drive their organisations forward in a challenging climate. Dr Buttar was overjoyed to reach the finals for two awards: Global Business Director of the Year and West of Scotland Regional Director.
On receiving the award, Dr Buttar commented: “I am truly honoured to become the IoD’s Director of the Year for Glasgow & West of Scotland. I would like to accept this award on behalf of ClinTec’s Glasgow HQ and global teams, who have been essential in helping ClinTec get to where it is today. 2009 was our most successful year yet, which I believe is all down to my staff’s loyalty and can-do attitude, supporting our clients’ needs in the every way possible. My thanks also go to all our business and co-operation partners in the West of Scotland who have been truly excellent in supporting us through this immense period of growth.
