Helen Sayles welcomed to the GlobalScot Hall of Fame

GlobalScot Helen Sayles has been honoured as the second member of the network’s Hall of Fame by Scottish Enterprise Chief Executive, Dr Lena C Wilson.

GlobalScot launched its Hall of Fame this year to honour those members who have made a particularly significant contribution to Scotland over the past decade.

Ms Sayles, Senior Vice President HR & Administration for the Liberty Mutual Group in Boston, has been recognised predominantly for her support and contribution to the SaltireFoundation, which she has been part of since the very beginning.

As well as being a major personal donor to the Foundation, Helen has hosted 16 Saltire Scholars and five Saltire Fellows at Liberty Mutual over the past four years – more than any other organisation.

As a Trustee of the Foundation, Helen has been central to the design of the Fellowship and the development of the Scholarship programme and has constantly championed the Saltire Foundation within GlobalScot and beyond.

A further four GlobalScots will be admitted to the Hall of Fame: Mark Bamforth, Derek Blackwood, David Reid and Jody Hall. In the future GlobalScots will be admitted on an annual basis.

This year the 842 Scottish companies registered as business users of the GlobalScot Network generated approximately 2000 requests for advice and assistance, involving 600 GlobalScots from different industry sectors across the globe.

GlobalScot seeks to develop and expand Scotland's standing in the global business community by utilising the talents of leading Scots, and of people with an affinity for Scotland, to establish a worldwide network of individuals who are outstanding in their field.
