Renfrewshire Chamber is delighted to announce the 2026 shortlist for the annual business awards, the ROCCOs. Now in their 22nd year, the ROCCOs are the premier business event in Renfrewshire. 17 winners will be crowned at the ceremony hosted by ROCCO favourite Fred MacAulay (Friday 13th November at Ingliston Estate and Country Club). Main Sponsor is SNRG, the UK’s leading provider of place based power infrastructure.  

Ronald Leitch, President of Renfrewshire Chamber said “Congratulations to all our finalists for ROCCO 2026. The standard of entries and competition this year has been exceptionally high and being shortlisted is a significant achievement. For those who were not successful this time, I would encourage you to consider entering again in next year. I am also delighted to announce SNRG as our main sponsor. Their investment in Renfrewshire to develop smarter grid connections empowered by place-based renewable energy systems is warmly welcomed and will bring benefits to our wider community.”

Shane Hussain, CEO of SNRG said “SNRG is delighted to be Main Sponsor of the ROCCO Awards and to support an event that celebrates the strength, innovation and success of businesses across Renfrewshire. We are investing heavily in Renfrewshire and the surrounding area, with projects such as Middleton Solar Farm helping to deliver locally generated green energy for businesses and communities.

Our ambition is to create long-term economic and environmental benefits by supporting the transition to a more sustainable energy future. The ROCCO Awards provide a fantastic opportunity to recognise the achievements of local businesses, organisations and individuals who make such an important contribution to the region. On behalf of everyone at SNRG, I would like to congratulate all of this year’s nominees and wish them the very best of luck for the awards.”
