Inverclyde’s business leaders and entrepreneurs have the chance to scoop glittering honours at a high profile awards ceremony this year.
The Chamber of Commerce has launched the 2024 ICON Awards, which celebrate and recognise outstanding achievements and talents within Inverclyde’s business community.
The awards ceremony will take place at Greenock Town Hall on Friday 20th September 2024.
Inverclyde Chamber of Commerce president Lizzy Todd says the awards are an important part of the business scene in the area.
She stated: “The ICON Awards hold great significance for Inverclyde as they honour the accomplishments of our local businesses.
“Recognition through the ICON Awards not only celebrates the outstanding achievements of our local businesses but also motivates and inspires the entire Inverclyde community.
“We are very excited for this year’s awards and would like to encourage all of our local businesses to get involved.”
Members of the Chamber gathered together at Gourock Golf Club on 2nd May 2024 to unveil this year’s programme.
The event, sponsored by AdSmart from Sky, brought together business leaders, past ICON Award winners, sponsors, and chamber members for a day of speeches, networking, and a preview of the year ahead.
This year’s awards categories cover health and wellbeing, entrepreneurism, diversity, tourism, internationalism, business growth, community benefits, sustainability, resilience and skills development.
There’s also a Rising Star award for someone under the age of 25 who is making a significant impact in their field.
The Chamber unveiled Ocean Youth Trust as its charity partner for this year’s awards programme.
