Organisers of West Dunbartonshire Working4Business Awards 2019 have drawn up the shortlist of companies vying to receive an honour.

A number of local firms have been chosen across 10 categories.

Winners will be announced at a gala dinner hosted by comedian and actress Karen Dunbar on Friday, May 17, at Clydebank Town Hall.

Damon Scott, chief executive, Dunbartonshire Chamber of Commerce, said: “The quality of the entrants this year was once again of an extremely high standard and shows what a wealth of business talent there is in West Dunbartonshire from small start-ups to larger well-established businesses.

"There were some real success stories and we were particularly pleased with the entries we received for our Chamber Business of the Year Award.

"It certainly won’t be easy to choose an outright winner for this, or the other categories.

"This year we are delighted to announce that we will be supporting Children's Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS) by way of a charity raffle at the awards evening."

CHAS is the only provider of respite and end of life care to children in Scotland with a life shortening condition, and their families.

The charity runs Robin House in Balloch, Rachel House in Kinross and CHAS at Home which operates throughout the country.

Tickets are now on sale for the gala dinner and as demand is high early bookings are essential to avoid disappointment.
