SBS continues role of research sponsor for Scotland plc awards

Once again, Strathclyde Business School is the research sponsor for the Scotland plc awards which recognise the achievements of the country's corporate community. Launched in 1998 by Scottish Business Insider and PricewaterhouseCoopers to celebrate and publicise outstanding achievements by the Scottish plc community, the awards recognise not only strong performance but a wide range of other attributes with categories which continue to evolve to reflect the changing business landscape.

Strathclyde's independent research provides impartial data for the judges to make their decisions, with site visits carried out for the innovation, global reach and sustainability awards. The detailed research and analysis of all Scottish plcs which is carried out enhances the overall credibility of the awards process. A wide range of evidence is studied each year as our role as research sponsor is to carry out a rigorous process of independent research.

The Scottish Plc awards will take place this year on April 24 at the Hilton Hotel in Glasgow. Emma Crosby, Channel 5 news presenter will host the event and John Humphrys, one of Britain's best known and most controversial broadcasters as well as Mastermind host, author and interviewer, will be the guest speaker.

This year private companies will be able to enter three of the categories for the first time. They are:

All companies are able to enter the Social Investment in Scotland Award and also Plc Executive Board Member of the Year.
