    We’ve been successful at these awards before, but it never gets less nervy, so we’re delighted to be winners. We love coming to the awards and we’re really happy and buzzing to win this.

    Brian Toward CEO
  • The Glasgow Business Award

    Dear Green Coffee Roasters

    International Trade

    Cullen Eco Friendly Packaging

    We’ve been very successful over the past few years at the GBAs. We are currently exporting to over 35 countries and we’re growing, so this award is of huge value as our business grows.

    Maureen Stevenson Head of Marketing

    for Business Resilience

    Allied Vehicles Limited

    It’s fantastic that we have received this award. During the Covid pandemic, we kept the business going and it was challenging. We dropped back slightly in staff, and we’ve increased back to roughly where we were. It’s been great.
