This week the ‘Spedders’ (the excellent group of women in digital on our Special Edition programme) are off to London, before jetting off to Amsterdam to meet with some bold and brilliant people working in the digital industry.
Special Edition was devised in response to the lack of women at board-level in the digital/tech sector in Scotland.
