Chambers awards joy for firms
BUSINESSES who have triumphed over the economic gloom have been toasted at an annual awards dinner.
The Dunbartonshire Chamber of Commerce held its fifth annual dinner and award ceremony recently at Clydebank's Beardmore Hotel.
Around 140 members and guests saw Bishopbriggs-based Liquid Sales and Marketing take the Best New Business Award in the East, with Kirkintilloch's The Biz Local Directory coming runner-up.
Mobility Scotland of Campsie Road, Kirkintilloch, won Business of the Year and the runner-up spot went to Lenzie's Kerchoonz, a legal music download company.
Speakers at the event included chamber president Robert Wilson, Dunbartonshire's regional chairman for the Prince's Scottish Youth Business Trust (PSYBT) Douglas Jackson, former chief executive of Scottish Enterprise Dunbartonshire Dave Anderson and chamber chief executive officer John Corcoran.
The night was sponsored by East and West Dunbartonshire Councils, Campbell Dallas and HBOS, and a raffle in aid of PSYBT on the night raised 2,150.
During the event, chamber president Robert Wilson spoke of the difficult trading conditions which all businesses had faced in the past year.
However, he was upbeat about the future for Dunbartonshire.
