We were delighted that Hebrides Cruises owner, Rob Barlow, was awarded the 2024 Scottish National Investment Bank Award for Outstanding Business Leader, at the Prosper Award Ceremony on September 12th.
The Award Ceremony took place in the Drumossie Hotel, Inverness with impressionist and comedian Rory Bremner as host. Almost 300 finalists and local businesses gathered to celebrate the outstanding business achievements in the Highlands and Islands and congratulate the winners of ten awards being presented. With a record number of nominations, the judging panel had a difficult job .choosing winners from many inspirational examples of business excellence.
Rob was declared winner of the outstanding business leader award due to his passion in running a sustainable cruise business, helped by training and retaining the best qualified crews which in turn provides an exceptional experience for our guests and a significant contribution to the local economy.
We would like to congratulate all the winners and finalists who together painted a picture of encouraging and impressive business excellence in the Highlands and Islands
And thankyou to our amazing crews, shore team, lovely guests, excellent suppliers and everyone who plays a part in making Hebrides Cruises such a success.
Fantastic week exploring. Didn't quite know what to expect.. but it exceeded our expectations. The crew were all extremely hospitable and made us very welcome. The food provided by Carlton the chef was like going to a great restaurant every night. None of us had done anything like this before and we all came away blown away by it. We had the cabins with single beds at the front of Elizabeth G and given we are tall people it suited us better that the double bed cabins would have. Thanks to Alasdair, George, Craig and Carlton for giving us such a special week and Emma for making the booking process easy. We will be back Stuart
