Qualifiers announced for PwC Private Business Awards

The Scottish regional qualifiers for the PwC Private Business Awards have been announced with a strong focus on innovation with the likes of ZoneFox, Celtic Renewables, Care Sourcer and Speech Graphics making the list.

The Awards recognise the private business scene in the UK, which is not only the lifeblood of the economy, particularly in Scotland, but an exciting, innovative and dynamic marketplace.

Thomas Clark, PwC director and lead judge, said: “With this being the 7th year of the PwC Private Business Awards, you would be forgiven for thinking there aren’t too many surprises left out there when we’re running through our list of nominees. You would be very wrong!

“After a really tough judging session, the Scottish Regional Qualifiers for this year have now been revealed, and there are some fantastic stories behind these successful and exciting private businesses. Good luck to them in the next stages.”
