BUCHAN HEROES IN THE SPOTLIGHT

01-07-2024

The organising committee of ‘Peterhead Scottish Week’ are proud to host the sixth edition of the “Best of Buchan Awards” in association with Buchan Offshore Wind, on Saturday 27th July in the ballroom of the town’s Palace Hotel.

The event boasts 9 categories covering ‘Teacher of the Year’, ‘Outstanding Local of the Year’, ‘Blue Light Hero of the Year’ and more. A tenth award, the final of the evening, is given to the person chosen as overall ‘Best of Buchan’.

Past winners of the award include skipper Jimmy Buchan, local funeral director Robert Mackie and last year’s winner, Robbie Sturrock.

For the second year in a row, Buchan Offshore Wind have agreed to partner for the event and new category was therefore created last year, ‘Green/Sustainability Champion of the Year’.

Some if you know a business in the Buchan area that delivers outstanding customer service, or perhaps you know just how much work someone does within our community – we want you to get nominating!

Once nominations are collated, the committee with then reveal a shortlist of entries before the glitzy event. Tickets are not on general sale but for those shortlisted, tickets will be available for supporters to what always is a great night!
