Set to be held on Friday 20th September 2024 at Greenock Town Hall, the ICON Awards are the highlight of Inverclyde’s business calendar. This year’s event promises to be a memorable evening as the dynamic Gerry McDade takes the stage to present 11 prestigious awards.
Diodes, a leading global manufacturer and supplier of semiconductor products, proudly returns for the third consecutive year as the headline sponsor of the ICON Awards. This year, the event is also supported by Tonino’s Pizzeria, Golden Casket, James Walker Devol, and TweetiePie Media as category sponsors.
