PRESS RELEASE

Glasgow based business The Victor Pizza Co, headed up by Anne Marie Cairney, is celebrating after being shortlisted in the Women’s Enterprise Scotland Awards 2025.

The Victor Pizza Company Limited has been shortlisted for the Growth Business of the Year Award, after the judging panel reviewed and assessed a vast number of entries to create a list of just 48 finalists across 10 categories.

Anne Marie Cairney leads Victor Pizza Co with grit and warmth. She juggles operations, people and quality, guiding the move to a 26,000 sq ft Coatbridge site. A hands on mentor, she opens doors for young talent, strengthens hiring pathways, and turns family values into performance, resilience and sustainable growth.

Anne Marie Cairney, Owner of Victor Pizza Co, said:

"Victor Pizza has grown with the same care and drive I’d give to my own family. To be recognised for that journey is a proud moment. This shortlist reflects the ambition, resilience and team spirit that power our growth, and the opportunities we’ll keep creating as we scale for the future."

It is our opportunity to come together and celebrate success, as well as to provide visible role models for the women and girls who follow. Both the volume and the calibre of entries for the Awards were very high and the judging panel had a very challenging task to compile the list of finalists. We are now looking forward to a fantastic Awards evening in October, when we will shine a spotlight on the diverse range of women led businesses that are making such a vital contribution to Scotland’s economy”
