Living Lerwick Town Centre Awards

Organised by Living Lerwick, and sponsored by Lerwick Port Authority, the innaugural Lerwick Town Centre Business Awards were an opportunity to celebrate all that is great about Lerwick Town Centre and recognise those individuals and businesses who make an extra effort to provide a quality and memorable experience for local residents and visitors to the area. 

The list of awards were split into the following categories:

  • Health and Beauty Business of the Year

  • Hospitality Business of the Year

  • Professional Service Business of the Year

  • Retailer of the Year

  • New Business of the Year

  • Lerwick Town Centre Champion

It was fantastic to bring together such a wide range of hard-working people and teams from across the town centre - from retail and service businesses through to hospitality. Each plays a vital role in shaping the day-to-day experience of Lerwick, and having everyone in one room was a great reminder of the collective effort, resilience and pride that underpins the local business community.

A big congratulations to all of the nominees and winners, and to everyone involved in organising such a succesful event.
