IN a momentous occasion for Doqaru, the renowned Sales Enablement Consultancy headquartered in North-east Scotland, the company has been bestowed with the prestigious title of Business of Excellence of the Year at The Black Scottish Awards. This accolade marks a significant achievement, celebrating the outstanding contributions of Doqaru in the realm of business and underscoring its unwavering commitment to excellence. Dr. Yekemi Otaru, the esteemed Director and Chief Growth Officer of Doqaru, expressed her heartfelt gratitude, emphasising the profound significance of the award for the Black community in Scotland. “This event means so much for the Black community in Scotland. We work hard, we build and grow, often without crucial support and representation. It was an honour to attend such a spectacular award ceremony,” she remarked, encapsulating the essence of the moment.
The Black Scottish Awards, which recognize individuals and organisations making significant contributions to Scotland across diverse fields, served as a platform not only to acknowledge excellence but also to inspire the next generation of Black Scottish leaders.

The recognition highlights Doqaru’s leadership and innovation in the business sector, reaffirming its position as a trailblazer in the industry.
In addition to this momentous accolade, Doqaru has achieved another milestone by securing a substantial contract supported by the Scottish Ecosystem Fund 2023-24. This new venture will see Doqaru spearheading a sales mastery program tailored for women startup entrepreneurs in Scotland, aptly named ElevateHER. Sarah Downs, the Co-founder, and Chief Relationship Officer at Doqaru, expressed her enthusiasm about the accomplishment. “Doqaru will deliver a sales mastery program for women startup entrepreneurs in Scotland. This contract win further solidifies our position as a forerunner in sales development for startups and scaleups, and we are excited to continue delivering exceptional value in the region,” she shared.
The contract win not only signifies Doqaru’s prowess in sales development but also emphasises its commitment to fostering inclusive entrepreneurship support. ElevateHER, the upcoming program, aims to attract and empower 30-35 women entrepreneurs in Scotland, offering them valuable insights, skills, and resources to thrive in the competitive business landscape. This initiative reflects Doqaru’s dedication to nurturing talent and creating opportunities, aligning with its mission to drive positive change in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
This dual achievement – winning the Business of Excellence of the Year Award and securing a substantial contract – underscores Doqaru’s unwavering dedication to empowering entrepreneurs and making a meaningful impact on the business community.
