Renfrewshire Chamber is delighted to announce the main sponsor for Rocco 2016 is Paisley 2021. Established for over a decade the Rocco’s are Renfrewshire’s premier business event.
Jean Cameron, Bid Director for Paisley 2021, pictured with Chamber President Audrey Cumberford (left) said: “We are pleased to be supporting the ROCCOs, which are a fantastic way of recognising and rewarding the many successful businesses which operate across Renfrewshire.
“Businesses are at the heart of our communities, delivering products and services, and creating jobs and opportunities for local people.
“Paisley 2021 is committed to supporting Renfrewshire’s business community to bring significant economic benefits to the region. Our bid to become UK City of Culture 2021 will boost communities and industries throughout Renfrewshire, and not just in the growth of our cultural and creative sectors.
“Being UK City of Culture will bring tens of thousands of additional visitors to the town and surrounding areas. They will travel here to join us in celebrating our heritage and future, spending time in our hotels, restaurants, shops and venues.
“This presents a great opportunity for all local businesses to get involved in supporting the delivery of infrastructure for our cultural year.
“Culture helps us see things differently and seeing things differently gives businesses the creative edge.
“Paisley being UK City of Culture 2021 can be a real game changer for our local communities and economy. To help ensure the Paisley 2021 bid is successful, we need the support and enthusiasm of Renfrewshire’s people, businesses and organisations.”
Paisley’s bid for UK City of Culture 2021 is expected to be lodged with the UK Government’s Department for Culture, Media and Sport in spring 2017.
