Winners of Inverness City Centre Business Awards revealed
Over 200 guests gathered at the Drumossie Hotel to celebrate the 2024 Inverness City Centre Business Awards.
Organised by Inverness BID, and sponsored by the Inverness Courier, the event was hailed as a ‘fantastic evening’
Inverness BID deputy manager Margaret Laws said: “What makes the recognition particularly special is that the category winners, across the 16 sectors, are selected by public vote, underscoring the importance of being part of a supportive and engaged community.”
Colin Craig, co-chairman of Inverness BID and owner of Oil & Vinegar, added: “It’s been a wonderful night, and it was great to see so many local businesses and organisations recognised for their hard work. A big thank you to our sponsor, the Inverness Courier, and to everyone who contributed to making this event a success.”
Craig Duncan, co-chairman of Inverness BID and owner of Craigton Foods and McDonald’s franchisee, said: “Congratulations to all those recognised this evening and thank you to everyone who voted.
