Celebration for the winners of Midlothian & East Lothian Business Awards 2023

30th March 2023

The winners of the Midlothian & East Lothian Business Awards 2023 have been announced at a glittering awards dinner and ceremony at Eskmills Venue, Musselburgh. Despite having to move to a new location a week prior, the evening went very well with nearly 250 business people from across the regions attended the event which was organised by Midlothian & East Lothian Chamber of Commerce.

Chamber Chief Executive, Karen Ritchie thanked everyone who had entered and supported the Awards including sponsors and those who contributed to the success of the event.   

She said: “It was fantastic to be able to honour winners and finalists from across the regions, representing a wide range of sectors and industries. Despite some really challenging trading conditions, it was incredibly encouraging to see so many positive applications from business from across the regions – they are doing some great work and we are honoured to be able to highlight that through these awards.”

Chamber President, Keith Barbour said, “There is much we can be proud of in East Lothian and Midlothian and while times may be tough, it is clear our business community is fighting fit and meeting those challenges head-on. The business talent on show tonight is absolutely remarkable, as ever. And the judges on the panel this year wanted me to stress that the finalists in each category are all winners.
