Renfrewshire Chamber is delighted to announce the 2019 shortlist for their annual business awards, the ROCCO’s.

Now in their 16th Year, the ROCCOs are the premier business event in Renfrewshire. 17 winners will be announced at the ceremony hosted by ROCCO regular Fred MacAulay (15th November at the Normandy Hotel in Renfrew). Returning as Main Sponsor is Paisley.is, the destination brand and website promoting Renfrewshire to the world.

Commenting on the awards – Chamber chief executive Bob Grant said “thank you to all the organisations that entered, this year we have seen a record number of over 100 entries. As always the standard of entry was high so I know many people that are not shortlisted will be disappointed – we hope you will consider entering again next year. 15 of the 17 awards will require the shortlisted organisations to present to our judging panels w/c 21st Oct at the Chamber Business Centre, Glasgow Airport.”

Top 5 voting will open soon online with the Paisley Daily Express. The company with the most votes by 25th of October will be crowned the winner and announced on the night.
