Inverness bed makers up for hat-trick of awards

An Inverness-based mattress and bed manufacturer is celebrating a trio of award nominations.

Highland BlindCraft has been recognised for its mission to provide employment, training and education to those living with visual impairments and other disabilities.

It has been shortlisted for the building diversity, inclusion, equity and justice award at the Social Enterprise Scotland Awards – which will take the team to the Scottish Parliament in recognition of their achievements.

The social enterprise is also up for two awards at the Highland Business Women Awards – best third sector organisation and most enterprising business.

Executive manager Heather McDonald said: “We are so proud of the work we do at Highland BlindCraft, so to be recognised for our commitment to supporting those living with disabilities in our community is a real honour.

“These nominations are a testament to the hard work and dedication of all our team – from those working on the factory floor or liaising with customers in our showroom, to the back office team and trainers that keep us moving forward.”
