The Herald Scottish Politician of the Year Awards, held on Thursday 21st November at the prestigious Prestonfield in Edinburgh, brought together Scotland’s leading political figures to once again recognise and celebrate their outstanding contributions.
This annual event, hosted by The Herald since 1999, acknowledges the breadth of talent and dedication within Scottish politics. For the tenth time, an NVT Group company was proud to sponsor the Donald Dewar Debater of the Year Award. This prestigious category honours “the MSP who has demonstrated the best debating skills within the Scottish Parliament, either with fellow MSPs or the media, on a single performance or over the past year.”
Aiir Networks, an NVT Group company, had the privilege of sponsoring this award, which was presented to Humza Yousaf, MSP for Glasgow Pollok. Known for his eloquence and persuasive abilities, Humza Yousaf’s win is a testament to the high standards of debate within the Scottish Parliament.
As a sponsor, Aiir Networks hosted a table of esteemed guests for the evening’s black-tie dinner, including Kate Forbes MSP, Deputy First Minister of Scotland; Anas Sarwar MSP, Leader of the Scottish Labour Party; and Brian Whittle MSP for South Scotland. The event was also attended by valued associates and clients.
NVT Group extends congratulations to all winners, particularly Kate Forbes, who won the Politics in Business Award, and Anas Sarwar, who was named Politician of the Year. The latter represents the pinnacle of achievement and is a reflection of his leadership and service to Scotland.
Looking to the future, Aiir Networks continues to enhance lives through connectivity, with plans to deliver transformative broadband solutions to rural Ayrshire in 2025.
The evening underscored our ongoing commitment to celebrating and supporting excellence in public life, as well as our commitment to providing connectivity services to areas with the greatest need.
