Taking place on Friday 26 September, the Highland Business Awards is one of the flagship events of Inverness Chamber of Commerce that celebrates the achievements of businesses throughout the region.
The Awards recognise 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 will recognise the businesses and individuals that are integral to sustaining a strong Highland economy.
Tickets for the Awards lunch and ceremony are on sale now and can be purchased individually or for tables of 10. Full details can be found here.
We are delighted to welcome The Highland Council as Principal Sponsor.
Congratulations to the 2025 Highland Business Awards finalists!
