At a building in Hamilton, business representatives and politicians interested in regeneration announced that
they wanted entries to be in by just before the middle of November. The event itself is set to occur on February 27th.
The gala evening will take place in a concert hall in Motherwell. However, if the organisers want to generate additional publicity for the show then they could use full colour printing in Coatbridge. Small outfits which obtain awards can gain a lot from the recognition they receive, according to past winner Gary Telfer.
The awards ceremony has several different sponsors. They include Lanarkshire Enterprise Services Ltd (LESL), which operates in the area of business support. The firm provides services to organisations across Scotland, helping a diversity of small to medium enterprises.
This business is the main sponsor for this particular occasion, but other enterprises have decided to support the different categories in which prizes can be won. In addition, Media Scotland is a prominent backer of the whole thing.
Marian Gardiner, who works for LESL, has told The Daily Record that:
“We are delighted to be supporting this event and look forward to welcoming all the finalists to the awards evening in February.”
