Renfrewshire Council is launching a new business award to celebrate local businesses that have helped shape Renfrewshire's economy and communities through trading for a 100 years or more.
The Renfrewshire Legacy Recognition Awards formally recognise businesses that have made a lasting impact on the area through years of sustained trading, job creation, innovation, investment and community leadership.
From family-run enterprises passed down through generations to businesses that have successfully adapted and grown through decades of economic change, the awards shine a spotlight on organisations whose stories form an important part of Renfrewshire's economic heritage.
Businesses that have been trading for at least a 100 years are invited to self-nominate by emailing: econdev@renfrewshire.gov.uk.
Provost Lorraine Cameron said:
The Legacy Recognition Awards provide an important recognition for the businesses whose commitment, resilience and innovation have made a lasting contribution to our area. These organisations have created jobs, supported local families, invested in our communities and helped make Renfrewshire the place it is today.
We know there are many remarkable business stories across Renfrewshire, from long-established family firms to companies that have grown and adapted through changing times. I would encourage eligible businesses to come forward and share their journey as part of this new initiative.
The Provost will announce the businesses awarded the Legacy Recognition Awards at a civic reception on 28 January 2027 at Paisley Town Hall.
