NORTHERN STAR BUSINESS AWARDS 2014
The Northern Stars of 2013 Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce once again welcomed over 800 guests to the Northern Star Business Awards where we celebrated both business excellence in the Northeast of Scotland and the 10th anniversary of these prestigious awards. This impressive event is the highlight of the North-east business calendar; not just as an outstanding night but as a springboard for even greater achievements for award winners. Chamber members and guests marked the anniversary with a special award for Company of the Decade, won by Wood Group, reflecting their success over the past 10 years. It would not be possible to stage this glittering event without the generous support from our many sponsors. The principal sponsor for the event is Aberdeen Harbour, a valued and long-standing member of the Chamber, and we would like to extend our gratitude for their generous and on-going contribution to these awards and our vibrant economy. The host for the evening was one of Britain’s greatest swimmers of all time, Mark Foster, who competed in five Olympic Games. Holder of countless European and Commonwealth titles and world records and the flagbearer for Team GB at the opening ceremony at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. Mark charmed an enthusiastic audience on the night. Five charities benefited from the generosity of those attending the gala evening – Aberdeen Foyer, Aberdeen Sports Village, Aberlour Childcare Trust, CFINE and Enable Scotland. The Chamber is proud of the achievements of its members and the contribution they make to the robust economy of our region, our enviable quality of life, and our bright future. We look forward to welcoming you back in 2014.
