GLASGOW Chamber of Commerce has issued a final call for entries to the 24th annual Glasgow Business Awards, sponsored by Royal Bank of Scotland.
Deadline for entries to the 14 competitive categories to the awards, for which The Herald is media partner, is Friday 8th July.
Each category will champion the successes of the city’s business community and celebrate various business characteristics from innovation, communication and international trade to community wealth, resilience and health and wellbeing.
To recognise the efforts and achievements of Glasgow businesses on the road to net zero targets, three of the categories will highlight sustainability including Green Champion, Net Zero Achievement and Sustainable Development.
Individuals will also be crowned through the Entrepreneur of the Year Award and Young Business Person of the Year Award.
In addition to these awards, Glasgow’s Favourite Business, sponsored by Glasgow Times and voted for by the public, will also be announced alongside the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce Award for Lifetime Achievement.
And finally, Royal Bank of Scotland’s Award for Most Outstanding Business will be presented on the night, as the most prestigious accolade, to one of the winners of the competitive categories.
Former winners include Cullen Eco-Friendly Packaging, Scottish Leather Group and winner of Royal Bank of Scotland’s Award for Most Outstanding Business, JW Filshill.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
