Region shines at 2024 Ayrshire Business Awards

On Friday 4th October, at Ayr Racecourse, business people from across Ayrshire came together to celebrate the resilience of businesses and organisations from across the region.

More than 60 finalists were represented at Ayr Racecourse where 500 guests enjoyed an evening of entertainment from TV magician Ben Hanlin, alongside the award presentations.

A charity raffle on the night raised a fantastic £5,000 for our two beneficiaries Ayrshire Cancer Support and Christians Against Poverty. Thank you to our awards guests for their generosity on the night.

Ayrshire Chamber of Commerce would like to thank the 2024 Awards Principal Sponsor Business Gateway Ayrshire, Secondary Sponsor Rainton Construction (Scotland) Limited, all of our category sponsors, and our valued supporting sponsors.
