Businesses that have backed their ambitions with serious investment are being urged to showcase their success by entering the Scotland Business of the Year Awards.
From companies that have expanded into new facilities or upgraded their technology, to those that have grown through acquisition or backed ambitious market expansion plans, the awards want to hear from businesses that have put capital to work and delivered tangible results.
The awards are taking place for the first time in Scotland in 2026, organised by TheBusinessDesk.com and supported by PwC, Daily Business and TheBusinessGrid.
Entries are open for 13 categories spanning businesses of all sizes and sectors, including fast-growth businesses, international trade, investment, and employers. There will also be two individual awards, for chief executive of the year and ambassador.
To enter the Scotland Business of the Year Awards, visit businessoftheyearawards.co.uk or email boty@thebusinessdesk.com. The deadline is Friday, 16 January. Entries are free, and the awards will have a rigorous judging process.
Peter Walker, the editor of TheBusinessDesk.com Scotland, said, “Investment is about more than just raising money, it’s about what you do with it.
“We’re looking for businesses that have made bold decisions to invest in their future, whether that’s their own resources or external funding, and can demonstrate the impact those decisions have had on their growth and performance.”
Site visits will take place in February and March, with shortlisted companies invited to pitch to judges in May before the winners are revealed at a black-tie awards evening next June.
TheBusinessDesk.com already runs Business of the Year awards in five English regions, with recent winners including Lloyds Bank, Morrisons, Applied Nutrition, Rigby Group, and Absolute Collagen.
