There is still time to promote your business by applying for the 2025 Lanarkshire Business Excellence Awards.
One of Scotland’s longest running awards, this year is the 30th anniversary of the Lanarkshire Business Excellence Awards, which recognise and celebrate the success and achievements of local businesses.
Applications are open to all Lanarkshire businesses and social enterprises across all sectors and are free to enter. Companies can apply for up to two of the ten categories.
The winner of the 2023 Lanarkshire’s Best Business (0-10 employees) Award was Big Bite Catering. Alan Boslem, Director of Big Bite (pictured, centre), said: “Over the early years of the business I had heard how prestigious and difficult it was to win a Lanarkshire Business Award, therefore set this as a business goal to achieve one.
“Winning an award was a proud personal moment, however also a huge boost for the team by getting the recognition they deserved. I would encourage every Lanarkshire business to apply and support this real, honest and worthwhile award ceremony that recognises true hard work and great business.”
