The voting process is now closed and the winners will be announced at the Awards Ceremony on 2nd April.

These awards, organised by Inverness Business District (BID) in conjunction with the Inverness Courier, are held to celebrate the best in Inverness city centre. There are more finalists than ever before and the number of categories, at 13, is also the highest. The shortlist was whittled down from a total of 210 nominated businesses from the public. Inverness BID Manager Mike Smith described the response as fabulous. “It shows how much people value their city centre businesses,” he said. “Within general retail alone we had 30 nominations in the independent category and 30 in the nationals, and even with the charity retailers, which is a much smaller sector, there were 13 nominations. “Certainly there is a lot of excitement among the businesses as well. They look on it as very prestigious to be nominated in this way".

The winner and those highly commended in each category will be awarded at the Inverness City Centre Business Awards ceremony which is beiing staged at the Mercure Hotel on Tuesday 2nd April 2019. Two persons from each shortlisted business has been invited to attend.
