Finalists Announced for Star Awards 2018
FINALISTS ANNOUNCED: Annual Dinner & Business Star Awards: Crieff Hydro Hotel, Friday 23rd November 2018
Time for our finalists to reach for the stars!
We are thrilled to announce our Perthshire Chamber of Commerce Star Awards finalists. The prestigious business awards are set to recognise and reward top local companies – both large and small – whose impact and performance have helped to keep Perthshire at the forefront of Scottish business.
Celebrating all aspects of the local business world, the area’s premier Awards will highlight the real “stars” across our leading sectors.
Record entries were received and those who have been unsuccessful on this occassion should not be down-heartened. Competition is fierce and the judges will really have their work cut out as they progress through the interview stage and work towards agreeing their winners.
The Chamber is delighted to welcome back leading Scottish waste management company Binn Group as our main Star Awards event sponsor for the third year.
Reflecting on the “outstanding success” of the awards, Glenfarg-based Binn Group’s Chief Executive Allan MacGregor said they were proud to continue their support for such a key business event. “The shortlisted entrants present a really positive and impressive picture of businesses in Perth and Kinross,” he said. “I respect those many businesses who work hard and invest time, money and effort to succeed and Binn Group is glad that the sponsorship we provide helps offer a platform for their achievements to be shown to the wider business world.”
