We’re absolutely ecstatic. It’s been a hard year for the team but we’ve pulled it out of the bag and are delighted. I cannot believe it.
Euan Johnston Marketing Manager
It is great recognition. What we do is take food waste away from landfill and turn it into compost. It sounds very simple but we do it in an innovative way because we collect it by bicycle rather than by lorry.
Steve Taylor Managing Director
We're absolutely delighted to be part of the whole process and, once again, to represent the local community in Glasgow. Winning this award is a great achievement for us.
John Gallacher Health & Safety Manager
We’re absolutely delighted. We’ve worked really hard and it’s great to be recognised.
Myra Conn Environmental Officer
It’s amazing. I can hardly speak. It is absolutely fantastic and it is recognition for the direction of the business. We have put so much work into developing our people and we have our own HR academy.
Amy Barratt Marketing Director
I’m absolutely delighted because Uisdean has worked so hard since 2009 to turn our small company into a million pound business. Time and time again, the clients keep coming back as our business delivers a quality service. Thank you Glasgow Business Awards, this is recognition for the hard work we’ve undertaken since 2009.
Marina Fraser Director
My husband and I joined the business five years ago. I’m absolutely delighted because everything is all about the family. Everything we do from shop floor to head office and serving customers is about creating a family environment. As a family business, you are hands on in everything.
Wendy Laing Marketing Director
I’m flabbergasted to have won it. Wholesale Domestic is developing an e-commerce site to be known as a UK brand as well as being a Glasgow company, based in Hillington. We’ve also just signed a lease to take our first showroom outside of Glasgow.
Brian Toward Finance & IT Director
It is absolutely fantastic. We have spent a lot of time working with St Paul’s High School in Pollok and their pupils. They have put as much into this as our own team. We are delighted to share this award with them tonight.
David Guthrie District General Manager
We’re delighted to win this award which is recognition for what we’ve been doing globally. What we are doing is an industrial epiphany in the leather sector.
Dr Warren Bowden Director
I’ve never entered these awards before. I genuinely did not expect to win. It is unexpected and we are all over the moon. It means a lot to us. For a young business, winning this gets our name out and speaks wonders for the company.
Marcus Fields Co-Founder and Managing Director
We are delighted. Winning this award is great for our team of 23 staff based in Glasgow and the West of Scotland. We’re a third generation business and we’ve been around since the 1940s when Fred Douglas Laing established the business in Glasgow.
Chris Leggat Commercial Director
One of the unique things about Strathclyde Business School is that we are fully integrated into a leading international technological university, which in turn, is fully integrated into the business community in Scotland. Being the best performing business is actually a reflection of what we are doing at university level, so we’re absolutely delighted.
David Hillier Executive Dean
We’re absolutely delighted and very excited. The shop has been there for 135 years and our family has had it for 85 years. My mum, dad, sister and I run it now. It is really lovely to get this recognition.
Sarah Cameron Owner
Winning this award means a great deal to all of us at SLG Technology Ltd. We’re proud to represent Glasgow and Scotland when we sell our products around the globe.
Dr Warren Bowden Director
Thank you Glasgow Chamber of Commerce for honouring me in this way. I belong to Glasgow. I was born here, I was educated here and got my qualifications here. Glasgow made me and it’s been great to give something back. While I belong to Glasgow, maybe a wee bit of Glasgow belongs to me!
