Following months of anticipation, the winners of the East Renfrewshire Business Awards 2017, which showcased the region’s top performing companies, were announced at the Busby Hotel, in Clarkston.

The winners really do showcase the best of East Renfrewshire’s thriving business sector. The Awards would not have been possible without the support of our sponsors and I would like to thank them all for their commitment to this event.”

Among the winners were Barrhead Travel, which collected the Developing East Renfrewshire’s Young Workforce Award, and George Leslie Ltd, which was named Best Business (11 employees or more).
