A popular ice cream shop has been successful in a prestigious awards programme.
Portsoy Ice Cream was named Scotland’s Artisan Ice Cream Shop of the Year in the Prestige Awards.
Portsoy Ice cream was successful in the Scotland Prestige Awards.
In a social media post the shop said: “It was based on customer reviews, quality of ice cream and our service.
“So thank you all for your support and fabulous reviews.”
“Alex would like to thank all the staff that made this happen.”
The Prestige Awards recognise small and medium-sized businesses that have proven to be the best in their market over the past 12 months.
All shortlisted companies put forward are asked to support their nomination with evidence of their work.
This includes positive feedback from their clients (including reviews), information on previous accreditation and recognition, as well as highlighting the most outstanding parts of their businesses.
The judging panel base their decisions upon areas such as service excellence, quality of the product/service provided, innovative practices, value, ethical or sustainable methods of working, as well as consistency in performance.
The winners selected are those who can best demonstrate their strengths in these areas.
Founder and CEO of the Prestige Awards Osmaan Mahmood said: “Although small businesses may not be able to compete with multinational companies on their size and scale, there is a personalised service-driven focus that is often void from large organisations.”
