The Ayrshire Business Awards are back, ready to celebrate their 10th anniversary.
The awards, organised by the Ayrshire Chamber of Commerce, have become renowned as the headline event of the Ayrshire Business Week and in the last decade have provided a platform to highlight the success of businesses in Ayrshire.
The awards recognises businesses which have demonstrated excellence in a variety of fields.

As in previous years I would encourage all businesses to consider applying for an award.
