On Friday 14 November, Lothian proudly hosted the Lothian People Awards 2025 at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre.
The event was once again hosted by broadcaster and radio presenter Arlene Stuart, returning for her second year as compère.
The evening brought together colleagues from across the business to celebrate the people who make Lothian what it is. The ceremony recognised team members marking 25, 30 and 35+ years of dedicated service in 2024, before honouring the winners of this year’s Lothian People Awards.
It was a fantastic celebration of commitment, teamwork and excellence across our business and a reminder of the incredible individuals who keep our services moving every day.
