Five local businesses have been nominated for the Chamber Business Awards 2021 by Dundee & Angus Chamber of Commerce (DACC). Members of DACC had the opportunity to put themselves forward to be in with a chance of being the only business from the region to be nominated by DACC.

Considered one of the UK's most prestigious business awards, each year hundreds of high-performing companies are put forward for the specialist categories and compete for the coveted National Chamber Business Awards. 

The Chamber Business Awards receive widespread interest as they are unique in identifying the very best in business from every region in the UK. The winners are the organisations and entrepreneurs that set the highest standards for others to follow across a wide range of sectors. 

Each Chamber within the British Chambers of Commerce network have the opportunity to nominate just one business per award, a tough decision that DACC felt they couldn’t decide on their own.

Alison Henderson, CEO, DACC said: “I’m thrilled we’ve been able to gather such a high calibre of nominees across all the categories. It’s been a very competitive process with so many amazing businesses in the running. Getting to just one business per category has been a challenge and I’d like to thank every single business that was nominated – there were so many strong entries.

We are proud to be the Champion for local businesses and I’m delighted that we’re able to put Dundee & Angus firms on a national stage to take part in these awards. The whole Chamber team wish our finalists the very best of luck. I’m sure our businesses will do us proud!”

DACC members had until 10 September to complete the online nomination form, after this date a shortlist was announced and public voting was opened. Over 2,000 votes were received for the 10 businesses and 3 entrepreneurs who were in the running.

Along with the public vote, a panel of judges were also able to score the shortlisted entries with 3 votes in total up for grabs (1 from each of the judges and 1 from the winner of the public voting).

The businesses who have now been nominated for a Chamber Business Award 2021 are
