Courier Business Awards 2025 finalists revealed
Ambition, innovation, resilience and determination – this year's entries to The Courier Business Awards had it all. Around 160 submissions were received to this year's awards, held in partnership with chartered accountants Henderson Loggie. The six-strong judging panel spent hours debating each category and whittling down the entries to create the shortlist. The black-tie event will be held for the 12th time on October 24 at the Apex City Quay Hotel in Dundee. Companies large and small and spanning a diverse range of sectors are featured on the shortlist. As well as businesses operating in Tayside and Fife, this year's awards also received several entries from companies from the Stirling area, reflecting The Courier's greater geographical coverage. This year's judging panel was chaired by The Courier editor David Clegg. He said: 'Seeing the full sweep of talent and ambition across every category was genuinely inspiring. 'What stood out most was how deeply rooted these businesses are in their communities – driven not just by commercial success, but by a real commitment to people and place. 'The awards are a celebration of that shared spirit. It's a privilege to help shine a light on the companies and individuals shaping the future of our region.' The other judges were 4J Studios chairman Chris van der Kuyl; Marie Macklin of The HALO Group; Angela Linton, the former chief executive of Hillcrest; The Courier business editor Rob McLaren; and David Smith, managing partner of Henderson Loggie. Mr Smith added: 'It was great to see a lot of new companies coming forward this year. 'One thing that struck me in this year's judging pack was that a lot of businesses have been successful through necessity of having to adapt their business. 'Others have seen an opportunity and gone for it. The entries highlighted a lot of brave decisions. 'I really enjoyed the debates in the room today. It is a very strong shortlist.' Each of the shortlisted businesses will be visited in person by senior members of staff from The Courier and Henderson Loggie in the coming weeks who will report back to the judging panel. After each of the category winners, an overall Business of the Year award will be presented. Last year's Business of the Year was Montrose Port Authority. This year's awards will be hosted by BBC Sport and BBC Radio 2 presenter Jason Mohammad. He said: 'I love hosting events with amazing Scottish audiences. Some of you may know I also do like to end the event with a bit of a sing song. See you all soon in Dundee.' *Finalists listed in alphabetical order.

Concrete sales plunge to 62-year low as hopes for Labour's building boom fade
Demand for concrete has fallen to its lowest level since 1963 in a serious blow to Labour's hopes of building more houses. Sales of ready-mixed concrete fell by 11.5pc in the three months to June against the previous three months, according to data from the Mineral Products Association (MPA), which represents producers. The product is widely-used in housebuilding to lay foundations, and provide the base for flooring and driveways. The figures suggest that Labour will miss its target of building 1.5m new homes by the end of this Parliament 'by a significant margin', the MPA said. Concrete sales have fallen by a third in 10 years, and more than halved over the last 20 years. The drop means that annual sales have not been this low since 1963 – before the nationwide housing and infrastructure building boom that transformed Britain. The MPA said that sales of other building materials, such as mortar and sand, also fell, with demand for most products at 'historically low levels'.
