We’re ready to Rocco

There is still time to enter your favourite business for a Rocco Award.

The annual business awards of Renfrewshire Chamber of Commerce grow in popularity every year.

Now in their 15th year, the Roccos are Renfrewshire’s premier business event.

There are 17 categories this year and you still have time to enter your business for Renfrewshire’s Favourite Business award, sponsored by the Express.

Express editor Gavin McInally said: “Renfrewshire is home to a host of diverse local businesses supported by loyal customers.

“Last year we celebrated the outstanding work of owners of a gym, a cafe, a butcher, a soft play area, a live music venue and even a comic book shop.

“This year presents another opportunity for our readers to help celebrate the achievements of hardworking businessmen and women and let them know how much we appreciate all their hard work.

“So, please take the time to submit an entry to highlight your favourite business in Renfrewshire.”

Chamber chief executive Bob Grant has thanked all the category sponsors.

“Without their support, the Roccos would not be possible.

“Winning a Rocco is a great achievement and the process we follow for selecting a winner is taken very seriously.

“Across the 17 categories, we have something for everyone – from a sole trader or young entrepreneur and community group to wellestablished SMEs and large corporates.”
