I’m delighted to win. We were finalists for two years in a row so winning this year was a great feeling. I was hopeful of winning although I wasn’t expecting it. We’ve had a great year as a business – we’ve had a lot of fun bringing lots of bands to Dundee.

I was so surpised to win – it was unexpected but I was delighted. This was the first time we’d entered and been at the awards. It’s been a fantastic night. A lot of the work we do is in the area so it’s nice to be recognised in our home patch. It’s nice to meet other similar types of businesses from the area.

We are absolutely delighted as we export to 170 countries out of Dundee and were just over the moon to have won. We were not expecting it at all. The evening has been fabulous, it’s just so professional and so well organised.

I’m shocked but absolutely delighted to win. I absolutely wasn’t expecting it. It came as a shock to our whole table. There were some genuinely great companies so we were very pleased to have been picked. It’s our first time here and we’ve had a fantastic evening.

I’m absolutely delighted that we are business of the year. I’m incredibly proud. I was absolutely not expecting it. It’s the first time we have attended these awards. To win two awards and then the overall award is an amazing achievement. It’s entirely about the team. These awards are really important to our workforce. We’ve got just under 1000 people working for us across 31 sites in the UK. These awards are for our incredibly dedicated employees. The small section we’ve had at the awards tonight have had a fantastic night. The event has been incredibly well catered and the entertainment was fantastic. Although Phill was fantastic we were a little disappointed we didn’t get Rachel Riley this year though!

It’s absolutely fantastic to have won, we really didn’t expect it at all. We’ve worked hard and we invest in our business and we invest in our employees. Right now we’re very lucky because butchery seems to be recognised as the place to buy your meat.

We’ve had a brilliant evening. Our team do excellent work and it’s been a joyful night to share with them. It was a surprise to win. There were 12 nominees so we came here not thinking we had much of a chance. We’re terribly proud and humbled.

It’s quite overwhelming to win two awards in a row. It’s really unexpected but really exciting at the same time. Winning Entrepreneur of the Year is massive. It’s been a long road to get to the point where we are now and it’s amazing to see the growth of the company. We identify problems in aqua culture and we try to find the right partners to deal with it. What we do relies on the trust we build with other people. It’s quite a unique and innovative business model. It’s been a fantastic evening and it’s great to have Phill Jupitus here as well, he’s been great.

I’m very happy to win. I started out in an apprenticeship that was meant to be for two years but finished it in one year and was then offered a job as a full time chef. I now cook for 100 people including 30 young people, and staff too. The award ceremony has been fantastic. The atmosphere is so relaxed. I’ve had a really good time.

We are delighted and proud to have won. It’s been an exciting responsibility for us all to have developed the V&A. It’s been beyond all expectation and we’re very happy to contribute to Courier Country. We’re very pleased and proud as there are a lot of great tourism businesses in the area and it’s very nice recognition to be alongside so many other fantastic businesses. The evening is fantastic and it’s great to see it go from strength to strength each year. I’m lucky enough to have been to every Courier Business Awards and it’s always such a privilege to be here.”

I’m ecstatic to win. It came as somewhat of a surprise. We didn’t know what the chances were, realistically, so it’s great to get the recognition. This is the first year we’ve entered. It’s been a really great event. I’m really impressed by it and it’s great for the Courier to celebrate local businesses.
