Kilgraston’s Women and Business lecture series – Gleneagles

Kilgraston’s Women and Business lecture series continues this term and our latest speaker was Gleneagles’ Commercial Director, Jane McGee. Jane, who has worked for the luxury hotel since 2018, outlined her career and some of the incredible highlights. It is a career which has seen Jane travel all over the world, working in some of the most beautiful and luxurious hotels including Bangkok’s Mandarin Oriental where Jane said: “The level of customer service is phenomenal with several members of staff to every guest. You can just sit high above this amazing city and calmly watch the huge city gyrate before you.”

Kilgraston’s Women in Business series is an opportunity for our older pupils to hear in-depth stories from women in rich and diverse careers. In the past year, we have welcomed a National newspaper columnist, an accountant, a family law expert, a Professor of Photodermatology and Consultant Dermatologist to name just a few. In line with our on-going commitment to building the next generation of entrepreneurs, in 2019 Kilgraston was also the proud sponsor of the Inspirational Women category at the 2019 Business Women Scotland Awards.

Kilgraston Headmistress, Mrs MacGinty, said: “Having the opportunity to hear from someone of Jane’s calibre was a treat indeed. Her global experience and obvious love for her chosen career was a great chance for girls to hear, first hand, about this fascinating path. We’d all like to say a very big thank you to Jane for giving up her valuable time at this extremely busy time.”

The School’s Women in Business series will welcome an engineer from SSE, an orthodontist from Dundee and a stem cell expert from Ninewells Hospital during the next four months.
