Openreach, Scotland’s national digital network business, is sponsoring the award for the emergency services/armed forces hero.
Robert Thorburn, Openreach Scotland partnership director, said: “It’s great to be involved with the Highland Hero awards again this year, and continue our support of this important category. Men, women and teams working across the emergency services and the armed forces always go above and beyond their duty in facing the most challenging of situations with courage and compassion. We are so grateful to them and love hearing about their remarkable achievements.
“We encourage everyone to nominate the heroes in their community. It’s a wonderful way to show appreciation and say thank you.”
Sponsored once again by Inverness Airport, the Highland Heroes awards feature 14 categories where you can nominate individuals or groups in your community. New for 2023 is the green hero award which will be presented to an individual who is helping to create a cleaner, greener future.

Each week, your favourite Highland News & Media newspapers and websites will include special features about each of the categories along with all the details of how you can nominate individuals or organisations in your community. Once all of your nominations are in, our judging panel will whittle down your entries to create a shortlist. All the shortlistees will be featured in our special supplement where you will be invited to vote for your Highland Heroes of 2023!
As well as the 14 main categories, there is also a very special accolade which will be presented at the awards ceremony at the Macdonald Drumossie Hotel, Inverness on Friday, March 10, 2023. The hero of heroes will be decided by our judges from all of the winners at the ceremony and revealed on the night!
