Thomas Clark, PwC director and lead judge said:
“With this being the 7th year of the PwC Private Business Awards, you would be forgiven for thinking there aren’t too many surprises left out there when we’re running through our list of nominees. You would be very wrong!
“After a really tough judging session, the Scottish Regional Qualifiers for this year have now been revealed, and there are some fantastic stories behind these successful and exciting private businesses. Good luck to them in the next stages.”
The regional qualifiers will now be put forward for consideration for the UK final. The winners in each category will be announced at the Awards evening at The Brewery, London on Thursday 14 September 2017
