The ROCCO Business Awards 2010 sponsored by The Phoenix Car Company are the annual business awards for Renfrewshire Chamber of Commerce giving members and companies based in Renfrewshire, the opportunity to be recognised for their business success.

Now in its seventh year, the ROCCO’s are by far, the main business event in Renfrewshire with almost 500 people attending the awards dinner.

The night at the Normandy Hotel is hosted by Fred MacAulay, music by Loud’n’Proud, with a Diageo drinks reception followed by a four-course meal with wine.

We received almost 60 entries this year, well up on 2009.

Thank you to all that entered. A shortlist of three companies are chosen from each category.

They are all video’d at work, in their premises and invited to present to our expert judging panel during October.
