A serial award-winning entrepreneur from Sutherland has scooped another top prize for designing a saddle which has the potential to dramatically improve the welfare of horses.
Anna Renouf, an Inverness College UHI student and keen horse rider from Invershin, first shared her idea to develop a new saddle tree design at a region-wide business idea competition run by the college.
The 29-year-old’s concept had wowed leading entrepreneurs across Scotland, and she picked up two more awards in late 2015 and 2016 for the design.
The latest accolade from the Converge Challenge, Scotland’s biggest entrepreneurship development programme, will allow her to compete for the top prize in September, which is worth £150,000 in prize money and support to make her idea a reality.
