spotlighting the people, businesses and sectors who make this city thrive.

entrepreneurship and progress continues as the country enters a new chapter in its story.
“The Awards are an opportunity to celebrate the city’s impact and those who make it
a great place to lead, work and live.”
Judith Cruickshank, Chair, One Bank Scotland, Royal Bank of Scotland
It’s amazing. We didn’t expect to win this award. We are delighted to have everyone in our team here this evening, including the designer and the chief engineer, to share in the atmosphere and the success.
Veronica Coghill Programme Director
It is fantastic recognition for the business and the 700 strong team. It has been an incredible journey for us over the last few years, particularly coming through the Covid 19 pandemic and we have doubled our profits.
Gerry Facenna Chairman
We’re very proud to win this award. It is amazing to be up there with the other finalists. We’ve had a fantastic couple of years and our growth has been unbelievable for the last four or five years.
David W Milne Managing Director
This is fantastic. It means so much to us. There are ten of us here this evening, but we are representing 430 colleagues. It will mean so much for all of them too. We have been in business in the city for over 150 years.
Paul Chadderton Managing Director
It’s absolutely fantastic. I can’t wait to tell all of our staff, colleagues and volunteers. This is for them as much as anyone. We have been able to bring a few of our partners and volunteers to experience this great event.
Kirsten Watson Chief Executive
We are absolutely delighted to win this important award for everyone at the college. It means a great deal to us.
Jill Loftus Associate Director, People and Culture
It’s amazing. My biggest concern in our business is communications, and telling our clients and our workers what we are doing is very important. To get this recognition means a great deal.
Jenna Wilson Marketing Manager
It is such a brilliant category to be included in, but to actually win it, that’s unbelievable. I put my success in business 100% down to my parents. I wouldn’t be here in life or in business without their support and backing.
Caitlin White Head of Marketing
We’re delighted that we have won this award for zero emissions. There has been a lot of investment across a lot of operators in Glasgow as we’ve introduced electric buses. We will keep going.
Fiona Doherty Chair
This is a real accolade for everyone. I’m new to working in this industry and it’s been really brilliant. This is our first time at The Glasgow Business Awards, and it’s been a fabulous evening.
Hayley Rafferty Finance Director
This award is amazing and to be recognised is fantastic. I’ve been with KC Group Shipping since I was 15 years old. I bought the business in 2016 and I’m now the sole owner. But the award has to go to the team too.
David W Milne Managing Director
We are just about to spend another £15 million on another factory and that will take us to over 400 people. I’m excited because I believe we have something that can help solve some of the plastic challenges.
David MacDonald Director
This award confirms everything that we are trying to do. It is a real boost. In really difficult times, this helps catapult our business forward. Getting this kind of recognition and the response from the audience is amazing.
Lyndsay Stewart Director
Winning this for two years in a row is amazing. Everything we do is 100% plastic free. We did over a billion products last year in 34 countries, as far as Chile, Singapore, and Australia, and it all comes from Glasgow.
David MacDonald Director
I’m absolutely delighted. I’d like to thank the Chamber for all of its support, and the Glasgow Times. We’ve had an incredible year including being at the centre of COP26 and have a brilliant team who have met all the challenges.
Stephen Breslin Chief Executive
I’m really surprised. It’s already been an incredible evening for all of us. To be honest I never thought we would win this one.
David MacDonald Director
I truly am humbled to receive this award. My job as Principal and Vice-Chancellor of Glasgow Caledonian University for the last 17 years has been the most challenging, but also the most rewarding and joyful of them all.
Professor Pamela Gillies CBE Former Principal and Vice-Chancellor
