"The entrants demonstrate enthusiasm and motivation to succeed and I challenge anyone who doesn’t believe Scottish businesses are at the vanguard of innovation and growth to meet with these finalists. All the finalists of the awards have shown passion, determination and originality - we wish them all luck in the final rounds of judging."

"It is encouraging to see the industry breadth the 2008 Scotland finalists represent. The National Business Awards for Scotland recognises business success, innovation and ethics and, with the economy showing signs of a slow down it is encouraging to see the Scottish appetite for success in business growing stronger across many sectors.
