Indeglas founder Jeanette MacIntyre has been formally recognised by her alma mater Edinburgh Napier University School of Arts and Creative Industries with her induction into its Hall of Fame in tribute to her creative talent and acknowledging the contribution she has made to the built environment.
Jeanette graduated from Edinburgh Napier in 1985 with a Diploma in Interior Design. She currently serves as co-Vice Chair of Construction Scotland Innovation Centre. She is also a board member of Lanarkshire Enterprise Services Limited (LESL) where she uses the benefit of her business acumen to support strategy for the team dedicated to the delivery of Government support in the form of training and grant aid for micro businesses SME’s throughout Lanarkshire and beyond.
She said: “I feel intensely proud to represent the School of Arts and Creative Industries at Edinburgh Napier in this way. I hope to fully credit the honour, supporting current and future students, and by sharing the learning I have accumulated for the benefit of others.”
Offering guidance to ENU alumni who might wish to follow in her footsteps, she said: “Along the way you learn to accept that, to be successful, it’s not essential to excel in every aspect of business.
“Gaining trust and respect, actively practicing life-long learning, openly learning from mistakes and recognising and acting on good advice while creating an environment where others share your passion, feel valued for the skills they bring and can reach their full potential, is a far better strategy for overcoming most challenges.”
