Port of Aberdeen celebrates double win at Northern Star Business Awards
Port of Aberdeen won the ‘Making the Difference’ award at the Northern Star Business Awards and was recognised alongside Aberdeen City Council and Aberdeen Inspired in the Regional Contribution category for the success of The Tall Ships Races.
Over 800 people packed P&J Live on Friday 17 July for the glittering ceremony hosted by Edith Bowman and run by Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce, in association with Brodies LLP. The awards champion successful and growing businesses that make a positive impact on the North-east economy.
The Making the Difference award recognises an organisation that has demonstrated responsible business practices across the community, environment, and its people, committed to making a positive change. Port of Aberdeen was honoured for its work in the community and commitment to creating prosperity for generations, including multi-year charity partnerships and employee volunteering.
The Regional Contribution Award celebrates extraordinary impact on the region. Drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors to the city centre, The Tall Ships Races delivered an economic boost while shining a global spotlight on Aberdeen. Hotels, restaurants, and local businesses saw a surge in trade, as the city centre was transformed into a vibrant hub of activity.
Bob Sanguinetti DL, CEO, Port of Aberdeen said: “Winning two Northern Star Awards in one evening is an amazing achievement and I’m incredibly proud of our team. Our purpose is to create prosperity for generations. Our success with the Making the Difference and Regional Contribution awards tells me it’s not just words, we’re living it.”
