The Scottish Bar and Pub Awards 2024 Finalists announced!

The time has come to reveal the most of the finalists for the 2024 Scottish Bar and Pub Awards.   There will be no news on the Sunday Mail nominees until this Sunday with the finalists being revealed the following week. Our Campari Bar Apprentice programme takes place on Monday and we will reveal the candidates then and so many of you have put forward your manager for the HOSPO Manager of the Year accolade that it is taking a bit longer to interview them. It has certainly been a bumper year for entries so congratulations to everyone who has made it to the finals.
