ROCCO 2012, the ninth Annual Business Awards of Renfrewshire Chamber, take place at the Cosmopolitan Normandy Hotel in Renfrew on Friday 16th November.
The principal sponsor for the premier business event in Renfrewshire is easyJet, with 14 other organisations sponsoring the individual awards. Hosted by Fred MacAulay, the winners will be presented with their awards in front of a capacity crowd of 480. In addition to recognising business excellence across Renfrewshire, the ROCCOs also raise money for good causes, having raised in excess of £50,000 over the last few years.
Commenting on the ROCCOs, chamber president Tom Johnston, said: “ROCCO is the biggest business night in Renfrewshire and one of the best corporate events in Scotland. Different from most in that it is a positive, feel good event. I wish all our finalists the best of luck on the night and say thank you to all the sponsors and organisations that have supported the ROCCOs this year.”
