Lorraine is Head of Innovation Engagement following twelve years as Business Engagement Manager/Senior Innovation Lead for the Highlands and Islands. In that time, she has developed close partnerships with other business support organisations in the region ensuring that businesses can receive the right support for them at the right time.

She enjoys promoting how Interface can open up a whole new world of possibilities by introducing business owners to resources they never knew were available to them and helping them achieve their ambitions no matter their size, and regardless of where the business may be based.

While on secondment with Innovate UK Business Connect Lorraine helped to implement the Innovation Collaboration Framework for Scotland, bringing together Innovate UK and Scotland’s three enterprise agencies.

Lorraine joined Interface from VisitScotland where she worked for 25 years, and travel remains a favourite pastime outside of work.

Lorraine in her role as Head of Innovation Engagement, continues to make connections across the business and academic communities, ensuring that Interface’s role in supporting innovation in Scotland is to the fore.
