Fred said: “I’m delighted to be coming back to Fife for the annual business awards.

“Fife epitomises Scotland at its best with a mixture of manufacturing and service companies – not forgetting the wonderful tourism sector.

“I have personal experience of the latter – Mrs Fred and I holidayed in the East Neuk for seven years in a row when our children were school age.

“We have nothing but happy memories of those summers.”

He added: “I’d like to wish all of the finalists the very best for what is surely going to be a terrific evening of celebration.

“I look forward to adding my humour to the occasion and look forward to seeing you all there.”

The addition of a new sponsor for the ceremony has also delighted the organisers, Fife Chamber of Commerce.

Blackadders has a string of branches across Scotland, – and is among the newest members of the Chamber.

It is a leading provider of legal, property and wealth management advice for both business and individual clients, committed to ensuring every client achieves their goals by providing efficient and effective services.

Alan Mitchell, CEO at the Chamber, said: “We are delighted that Blackadders is sponsoring the awards ceremony.

“The 2019 Fife Business Awards have all been about the ‘new’, with amongst other things, new award categories, a revamped judging process and more help for potential applicants.

“It is fitting, therefore, that Blackadders, one of the newest members of Fife Chamber, is becoming a partner for the first time.”

He added: “We are very grateful to them for this big vote of confidence in Fife Business Awards, and we are looking forward to working with them to celebrate the Kingdom’s outstanding businesses at Rothes Halls in March.”
