In addition to these awards, Moray Chamber of Commerce presents its Main Business Award at its sold-out Annual Dinner this September at Gordon Castle. This year marks a special milestone as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of our Annual Dinner: two decades of recognising excellence in Moray's business community. The Main Business Award honours a business that has made a significant impact on the Moray economy over the past year. All of the awards presented by the Chamber highlight the rich diversity of talent, innovation and industries that make our region exceptional.


The Moray Chamber of Commerce Annual Business Awards ceremony will take place on the 10th December 2025 at the Laichmoray Hotel, Elgin, where the winners will be announced and all businesses will be celebrated.

Sarah Medcraf, CE of Moray Chamber of Commerce said: “Our business awards are back for 2025! We’re on a mission to have a record number of businesses apply and be celebrated. We’ve got categories to recognise all shapes and sizes of businesses – from fresh start-ups to those championing local spend. Applications are open to all businesses across Moray, not just Chamber members. I am excited to welcome you to our festive awards evening this December, but as the saying goes, you need to be in it to win it, so head online and submit your application today.”

These awards offer a fantastic opportunity for Moray businesses to be recognised for their commitment, achievements, and positive impact on the local community. More than just a celebration of success, they aim to inspire others across the region to strive for excellence.
