Join the awards party

There is still plenty of time to get involved in this year’s Rocco Awards, sponsored by Paisley.is

Louisa Mahon, Renfrewshire Council’s head of marketing, said:“I am delighted the new destination brand Paisley.is will be supporting this year’s Roccos event.

“The annual awards are a fantastic showcase of the diversity of businesses operating across Renfrewshire and the creativity and entrepreneurialism that have put Renfrewshire firmly on the map as a business destination of choice.

“We have had great support for Paisley.is from the business community and from the chamber and believe we now have the strongest possible platform to sell the benefits of doing business in Renfrewshire throughout the world.

“What makes our proposition so powerful is the strength and profile of our business community and it is a pleasure to be able to honour the best of the best at the 2018 awards.”

The Roccos, now in their 15th year, are open for entry and are Renfrewshire’s premier business event.

Chamber CEO Bob Grant commented:“We are delighted to welcome Paisley.is as main sponsor for Rocco 2018.”

There are 17 categories, including two new awards for 2018; Developing the Young Workforce and Excellence in Tourism.

The Roccos are free to enter for members based anywhere plus non-members that are based in Renfrewshire.

The awards are open for entry until September 7.

The shortlist will be announced at the end of September and the winners announced at an awards ceremony on Friday, November 16, at the Normandy Hotel, hosted by Fred MacAulay.
