Wishing both shortlisted businesses well, the Federation of Small Businesses’ Highlands & Islands Development Manager, David Richardson, said: “It’s really good to see businesses from Ross-shire being shortlisted for our national awards again this year.
“I’m really looking forward to supporting them in Glasgow on Wednesday the 8th, but win or lose, we should all be immensely proud of them, for the owners of these businesses have one thing in common: they are dedicated, hard-working and entrepreneurial, and they are committed to the Highlands. It’s businesses like these that keep our local economies and communities going, and we should all support them and their kind.”
