The most prestigious night in the area's business calendar was attended by 400 guests and hosted by broadcasters David Farrell and Jennifer Reoch.

This year marked the 30th anniversary of the awards, which are one of the longest running in Scotland.

They celebrate "the achievements and successes of the Lanarkshire business community".

Guests cheered as the exceptional winners of the 10 award categories were announced after being selected by a panel of judges, who had a very difficult task.

The awards dinner was held at Caledonia Gladiators Arena in East Kilbride, with the three-course meal provided by the five-star Crossbasket Castle Hotel.

The event, hosted by North and South Lanarkshire Councils alongside main sponsor Albert Bartlett, also raised £3752 for Kilbryde Hospice and St Andrew's Hospice.
