Lorraine McMillan, operations director at Scottish Enterprise Renfrewshire said;     ”These awards provide the ideal opportunity for local companies to showcase all that's great about the quality of innovation going on in Renfrewshire. Past awards have demonstrated that some of the best companies in the country are based here and I'm sure we can rely on the same high quality entrants again this year."


Nick Quinn from Blairs Ltd, This years principal sponsors said

 “The Renfrewshire Chamber of Commerce Business Awards are widely recognised as being the premier business event in central Scotland. In 2006 Blairs was fortunate enough to pick up three awards including the prestigious best business award, which was the crowning moment of a year of unparalleled success in the company’s 98 year history.

Recognition from fellow business professionals means a lot and the awards gave the whole company a real boost, and, of course, we had a great night at the award event itself.

We are therefore delighted to be able to support Renfrewshire Chamber as principal sponsor of the 2007 ROCCO Awards Ceremony and the award for the outstanding business in Renfrewshire.”


The successful companies will be presented with their awards at the ROCCO Awards Dinner on Friday 9th November at the Normandy Hotel, Renfrew. We are delighted to announce that Fred Macaulay will return to host this years event. So whether you are applying for an award or not, log onto www.roccoawards.com now and make your bookings.
