Get Ready To ROCCO!

THURSDAY 16TH JULY

Renfrewshire Chamber of Commerce is calling upon companies across Renfrewshire to enter the largest ever ROCCO Business Awards, turn their backs on the credit crunch and enjoy the new business the awards routinely generate for winners.

Now in their 6th year and principally sponsored by Diageo, the ROCCO Awards feature 9 categories and are open to all businesses from every sector.

To be held at the Normandy Hotel on Friday 20th November, the ROCCO Business Awards dinner is the highlight of the Renfrewshire Business Calendar.

“This year the focus for the ROCCO Awards will be to encourage businesses to turn their backs on the so-called downturn, promote themselves and benefit from the support of the Renfrewshire business community” said Tom Johnston, President of Renfrewshire Chamber of Commerce.

“We are particularly keen to encourage entries from smaller businesses which we know are doing well, but perhaps have not considered entering in the past. We want to uncover more of Renfrewshire’s great success stories!”

NS Design won the ROCCO Award for Outstanding Performing Business in 2008. Gary Ennis, MD said “winning the award has helped take our business to a whole new level.
The extra visibility and PR opportunities following the win have really helped reinforce the NSDesign brand to the Renfrewshire Community and indeed a much wider audience across Scotland”

Companies interested in the awards should log on to: www.roccoawards.com for more details and to download application forms.
