Highland Business Dinner: Celebrating the strength and spirit of the region at Drumossie Hotel in Inverness
Some 300 people helped mark a year of enterprise for the region at the annual Highland Business Dinner.
Inverness Chamber of Commerce organised the gathering at the city’s Drumossie Hotel, with broadcaster Adrian Chiles delivering an after-dinner speech.
The event was designed to be an evening of connection and reflection for business leaders.
More than £5100 was generated for charity partner New Start Highland.
Chamber CEO Colin Marr said: “The Highland Business Dinner is always a highlight of our calendar, and this year was no exception. It was fantastic to see so many local businesses coming together and to witness the spirit of resilience and collaboration across our business community.
“We were pleased to welcome Fergus Ewing MSP as part of our programme of speakers - his support for the Highland business community has been immeasurable. Our principal guest Adrian Chiles was entertaining, honest, and perfectly pitched for our Highland audience.”
The Chamber’s newly appointed president Marc Wilson addressed the room with a passionate reflection on the positive momentum seen across the region and the role of partnership in driving business success.
“This dinner captures what’s best about our region - ambition, innovation and unity,” he said. “From start-ups to global operators, the Highland business community continues to punch above its weight. I was proud to highlight some of the incredible work being done by our chamber members, our dinner sponsors and the wider community. Nights like this are about more than celebration - they remind us of our shared purpose and potential.”
