The Highland Business Awards, which took place on Friday 26 September and is one of the flagship events of Inverness Chamber of Commerce, celebrated the achievements of businesses throughout the region.
The Awards recognised the success of organisations large and small, new and well established, and across all sectors, while offering our business community the chance to socialise with colleagues, rekindle old connections and make new business relationships.
This year, twelve Awards recognised the businesses and individuals that are integral to sustaining a strong Highland economy.
We were again delighted to welcome The Highland Council as Principal Sponsor.
Congratulations to the 2025 Highland Business Awards finalists!
