(I-Newswire) - Ayrshire, Scotland, 18 February 2008--THE WINNERS of the Ayrshire Business Awards 2007/2008 hosted by Scottish Enterprise Ayrshire and sponsored by Clydesdale Bank have been announced at a gala ceremony at The Park Hotel, Kilmarnock.

There was fierce competition in the eight categories. Scottish Enterprise Ayrshire operations director Evelyn McCann said the high attendance demonstrated the strong level of commitment from the public and private sectors to ensuring Ayrshire had a vibrant and dynamic economy.

Evelyn McCann congratulated all the finalists and told the audience: “These business awards are a tremendous opportunity to recognise and showcase Ayrshire’s top performers.

“In addition to overall performance, we focus on some of those characteristics that are likely to bring about business success – entrepreneurship, innovation and creativity, accessing international markets, utilising technology, and investing in skills and learning.

“I’ve been struck over the past few years that businesses in Ayrshire are often modest about their successes. There’s no reason to be. There are fabulous stories to tell.”

Willie Mackie, managing partner of Clydesdale Bank’s Financial Solutions in Ayr said “We are proud to have been involved with this prestigious event and extend our congratulations to all the winners. The competition was as fierce as ever and the diverse range of sectors demonstrates the strength and depth of the business community in Ayrshire.”
