It’s hard to believe that the ROCCO Awards are fast approaching again, it’s certainly been a very quick and busy year and it seems no time at all since Spectrum was named Family Business of the Year 2015.  The awards night is always one of the highlights of our year when we get to meet old friends and colleagues from many of the other successful businesses based in Renfrewshire.

This year we are especially looking forward to the evening because we’ve been shortlisted for not one, but three awards.  Once again, we have been nominated for the Family Business of the Year which we won in 2013, and the Excellence in Customer Service – an award we have been privileged to win in 2008, 2010 and 2013.  It is extremely rewarding to be nominated for these two prestigious awards once again.

The third nomination is a category that is new to Spectrum – the ROCCO Award for Business Leader of the Year.  This award is one for which our Managing Director, Sara Speirs is delighted to be shortlisted.  We are very pleased that Sara’s leadership of Spectrum has been recognised by the ROCCO Awards and that she is joining such an illustrious list of business leaders in the finals for this category.

Of course, it is not the first time Sara’s personal achievements have been acknowledged; she is the current IoD Scotland Director of the Year, and a finalist in the National IoD Director of the Year Finals 2016 in the SME Director of the Year category.  The winner will be announced at a glittering ceremony in London’s Lancaster Hotel on the 21^st October.

The ROCCO Awards 2016 take place on the 18^th November at the Normandy Hotel and we are looking forward to what is always a great evening where we can celebrate the achievements of some incredibly successful businesses in the area.  We wish all of the finalists all the best for the awards and we look forward to seeing them all on the night.
