ABOUT THE AWARDS

This year, there’s a new Awards in Scotland!

Why a new awards event you may wonder. Aren’t there enough of those already?

Well, we felt not, for this group of business owners anyway – small businesses of less than 10 employees, who account for 96% of all UK businesses by the way…

We want to celebrate the bravery, tenacity and passion of these business owners who might be at a fancy networking dinner one day and sorting out the plumbing in their office the next. To shine a light on the hard work which goes into the wee businesses across Scotland, giving them a chance to win a Small Business Heroes award.

These awards are brought to you by Collabor8te – a Glasgow-based coworking space supporting small businesses since 2014.
