Inverness City Centre Business Awards 2025

Inverness City Centre BID Business Awards Return for 2025

The Inverness City Centre BID Business Awards are back for 2025, and you have a chance to celebrate the shops, cafés, bars, restaurants, salons, charities, organisations and services, that make our city centre such a special place to live, work, and visit.

Sponsored by the Inverness Courier, the awards shine a spotlight on excellence across many areas, from outstanding customer service and teamwork to creativity, innovation, and quality of products and services.

This year there will be just one round of voting and the public will have the chance to win two tickets to the prestigious dinner and ceremony and a £100 Inverness City Centre gift card.

Alongside the Public Vote, there will be a new Business Choice element, giving businesses and organisations within the BID area the chance to recognise their peers.

BID Chair Gordon McIntosh explained:
“For the first time, businesses and organisations within the BID area will be able to cast a weighted voted, adding a valued new dimension to the awards. Through BID we see every day the strong networks and ways our businesses across our city centre support and value each other, and it’s great to now reflect that in the awards process.’.

Public voting will run via the survey available on the Love Inverness App from Wednesday 1st October to Sunday 19th October 2025, giving everyone the chance to show their support and help recognise the city centre businesses they feel go the extra mile.  The Love Inverness App is free to download from your app store.

Finalists will be announced on 31^st October, ahead of the celebrations which will culminate with the Ceremony on Thursday 20th November 2025 at the Drumossie Hotel, where the winners will be revealed.
