Play your aces to hit business jackpot
Judges scrutinise Star Award finalists
The countdown to the Perthshire Chamber of Commerce Business Star Awards, sponsored by Binn Group, has begun in earnest as judges reveal their finalists from an impressive entry of local companies.
The shortlisted entrants for Perthshire’s most prestigious business awards will now be asked to “play their aces” as judges begin the task of visiting and interviewing this year’s finalists.
Celebrating all aspects of the local business world, the area’s premier awards will highlight the real “stars” across a range of sectors and those on the shortlist include new businesses on the scene as well as well-established staples.
Perthshire Chamber of Commerce also recognises the value of talent and individuals who have proved outstanding in their particular roles.
They will have a chance to shine in categories including the apprentice and employee of the year.
Entrants this year include regular Star Awards supporters as well as new faces, with large, established and renowned organisations sharing the shortlisted slots with sole and micro operations.
Chamber directors, sponsors and experts from the business world will help unearth the shiniest Stars in one of the country’s most robust judging procedures in the run-up to a glittering showdown at a black-tie dinner at Crieff Hydro on Friday, November 25.
Ticket bookings are open and as well as attracting those involved in the awards in some way, the event draws in attendees from businesses who are simply keen to enjoy and share a great night out as the category winners are revealed and the area’s business community is celebrated.
Also unveiled on the night will be the Business Leader Award with one company then scooping the Perthshire Business of the Year Award 2022.
