The ICAs
Save the date - 3 September 2020 G
lasgow firms looking to raise their profile in the city still have time to support the Inspiring City Awards 2020, taking place on Thursday 3 September 2020.
Once again, Glasgow Chamber of
Commerce will join forces with The Herald to organise and deliver the eighth ICAs. Working in partnership over this time, The Herald, its parent Newsquest and the Chamber have highlighted and rewarded individuals and organisations who have gone beyond the call of duty to encourage, mentor and support investment and growth in Glasgow. The awards evening brings together an audience of over 400 business leaders, employers, judges and sponsors along with invited guests from Glasgow Chamber of Commerce and The Herald. This year there will be 15 categories, including business, leadership, education, arts, culture and sport, all celebrating those who go the extra mile to make Glasgow flourish. The deadline for award entries will be in July 2020, ahead of the awards ceremony in September. There will be full coverage of the event and the winners in the Winter edition

The GBAs Save the date – 1 October 2020 T
he Glasgow Business Awards 2020 will take place on Thursday 1 October 2020 at the Hilton Glasgow in William Street. The GBAs, now in their
23rd year, are run by Glasgow Chamber of Commerce and are firmly established as the Business ‘Oscars’ for the city, with the 2019 awards attracting over 600 guests from a wide spectrum of companies and organisations. Last year’s Entrepreneur of the Year – Kieran
Coyle, Founder and Managing Director of Premiership Experience (who also triumphed in our Excellence in International Trade category) – said the accolade of winning the prestigious award helped in the marketing and
promotion of his business and its expansion into China and India. Premiership Experience also went on to be shortlisted as a finalist at the British Chamber of Commerce Awards. Alan Busby, Events and Professional
Development Manager, said: “2020 is a big year for the city as we play host to several international events, including athletics, several of the Euro 2020 Championships fixtures and the COP26 summit in November, to name but a few. “We are still in the planning stages of this
year’s GBAs, but we will celebrate business excellence and success and the role the business community plays in attracting these major events.
Meanwhile Alan is encouraging all Glasgow businesses to prepare for their award submissions and save the date, with the awards due to launch this Spring. “We also have some sponsorship opportunities available, and I would invite anyone who would like to know more to get in touch with us,” he added.
