    This is absolutely fantastic. To achieve this in your own city as a spin-out of the university is incredible for us, and to get this recognition is brilliant. It's a great testament to the team.

    Dave McConachie Chief Commercial Officer
  • The Glasgow Business Award
    for Inspiring Future Talent

    King's Theatre and Theatre Royal Glasgow

    We are thrilled to bits. We have quietly done lots of things for many years but what we've done now is let people know about how we nurture and support talent.

    James Haworth General Manager
  • The Glasgow Business Award
    for Community Wealth Building

    WEEE Scotland Limited

    This is fantastic. We do a lot of work to bring young people through the business with entry-level jobs and we try to develop their skills and give them opportunities to really make something of themselves.

    Justine Scullion Business Strategy Manager
  • The Glasgow Business Award
    for Sustainable Development

    SWG3

    We have a really tight team at SWG3 and we have been working hard on improving our environmental impact and I must give credit to Step Up to Net Zero, Glasgow Chamber's green initiative.

    Alison Fullerton Strategic Impact Lead
  • The Glasgow Business Award
    for Excellence in Communications

    First Bus

    It is great to receive this recognition as making bus travel attractive to young people is not an easy task. We want to get the under 22s into the habit of using the bus and not buying a car as early as they used to do.

    Craig Dennett PR Manager
  • The Glasgow Business Award
    for Fair and Healthy Workplace

    ACS Clothing Ltd

    I'm delighted. It's always fantastic to get recognised in your home city. We do a lot across the UK and beyond, but this being a Glasgow award, makes us very proud.

    Anthony Burns Chief Operating Officer
  • The Glasgow Business Award
    for Innovation in Business

    ACS Clothing Ltd

    I'm delighted and a bit shocked. I'm never sure if people understand what we do from an innovative point of view - the sanitation of garments and killing of pathogens.

    Michael Cusack Head of Sustainability
  • The Glasgow Business Award
    for Young Business Person of the Year

    Cain Fleming, Green Fulfilment

    Cain Fleming Director

    for Entrepreneur of the Year

    Victoria Nicol, My Language Connection

    I'm absolutely elated. I can't believe it. It's just amazing to be recognised as a small business and as Entrepreneur of the Year. This will open so many doors. It's brilliant and I am so happy.

    Victoria Nicol Managing Director
  • The Glasgow Business Award
    for Green Champion

    SWG3

    We are in the events industry and certain things have to be done to make things happen. But to really focus on bringing down the use of carbon is important while making it about the community.

    Meryl Gilbert Arts and Business Director
  • The Glasgow Business Award
    for Best Performing Small-Medium Business

    Gerry Docherty Managing Director
  • The Glasgow Business Award
    for Best Performing Large Business

    Allied Vehicles Limited

    Steven Faul Technology Director
  • Glasgow Times Award
    for Glasgow’s Favourite Business

    Waverley Excursions Ltd

    It is a fantastic reward for the whole Waverley team. The public's support for Waverley is wonderful and the award illustrates the affection so many people have for the last of the great Clyde paddle steamers.

    Paul Semple General Manager
  • University of Strathclyde Award
    for Most Outstanding Business

    ACS Clothing Ltd

    I'm collecting this on behalf of all the other people who have made ACS Clothing such a Glasgow success story. For us it is the people who are more important than anything we do.

    I'm very honoured and very chuffed. I'm a bit surprised too. It's a very nice accolade and also recognition for the SEC and all it has achieved over the last 40 years.
