Businesses in West Dunbartonshire have been asked to nominate their local business support champions for a new award.
The nominations are being sought by Business Gateway for its inaugural Recognition Awards.
These awards aim to celebrate the "exemplary service, commitment, and impact" made by Business Gateway staff in supporting companies across the country.
Businesses that have benefited from the service are encouraged to acknowledge the positive impact of one or more team members who have supported them.
This could be through offering invaluable guidance, helping to solve complex challenges, or providing crucial support during key milestones.
Those nominating are asked to fill out a short form and provide a brief description of how the individual helped them.
The deadline for nominations is January 24.
Hugh Lightbody, chief officer at Business Gateway, said: "With many businesses facing challenges in our rapidly changing economic environment, the support of our teams has been vital in helping business operators survive, adapt, and grow.
"The Recognition Awards will shine a spotlight on those who play a key role in empowering the local business community; their dedication to helping businesses navigate challenges, reach new milestones, and achieve success is truly commendable."
The awards will be presented at Business Gateway's all-staff conference in Edinburgh on February 27.
