Alison Henderson, CEO at the Chamber, said:
"The quality of entries we received this year has been truly outstanding and reflects the ambition, resilience and innovation that continues to drive our business community forward. The standard of applications was exceptionally high, making the shortlisting process one of the most competitive we've seen. In several categories, we simply couldn't narrow the field down any further, which is why some awards feature five, six or even seven finalists this year. That is a testament to the remarkable work being delivered by organisations and individuals across our region.
Congratulations to every finalist. Each has demonstrated a commitment to growth, developing people, embracing innovation and making a positive impact in their communities. We are looking forward to bringing everyone together in September to celebrate their achievements and recognise the inspiring stories behind their success."
Dundee & Angus Chamber of Commerce would like to thank Michelin Development and Hillcrest, along with category sponsors Scott & Fyfe Ltd, Robertson Construction Tayside and STV, for their valued support of the awards programme.
Tickets for the Chamber Champion Awards Lunch on Wednesday 9th September will be available to purchase from the Chamber website on Monday 29th June.
