Back in Business: Courier Awards entries now open
The resilience, innovation, flexibility and determination shown by companies in Tayside and Fife adapting to Covid-19 has been astonishing.
We want to celebrate this success with the return of the Courier Business Awards, held in association with long-term partners mha Henderson Loggie.
“I am delighted The Courier Business Awards are returning for 2021,” said David Clegg, editor of The Courier.
“There is no doubt that Covid has placed a huge strain on the economy of Courier Country.
“But, in such hard times, the resilience and entrepreneurialism shown by so many companies to navigate through the choppiest of waters has been truly remarkable.
“If ever there was a year to celebrate success and showcase the best of our business community, this is it.
“I urge all firms across Tayside and Fife to get involved and look forward to being inspired and impressed by their entries.”
In 2019 more than 800 guests attended our blacktie ceremony in a purposebuilt marquee in the grounds of Apex City Quay Hotel in Dundee.
It is our intention to hold a live ceremony on October 30, subject to government regulations.
The awards are free to enter and, to reflect the pandemic, there is a new category this year.
The Covid Resilience Award will be presented to a business that has shown innovative practices to keep trading.
Other new awards will be given to the best social media campaign, farming and estates business, and energy business.
There are a total of 15 categories spanning technology, hospitality, retail, service and family. Any company that has a significant presence in Courier Country can take part and can enter multiple categories.
Additional awards will be presented to the overall Business of the Year and Outstanding Contribution.
