Pictured is Conrad Ritchie accepting the Lifetime Achievement Award on behalf of his late father Charles with awards sponsor Fraser Carr from Cala Homes
A north-east entrepreneur who founded and built a successful international engineering group was posthumously honoured with a lifetime achievement award at an event attended by 600 people in Aberdeen last night.
There was pride mixed with sadness as Score International managing director Conrad Ritchie collected the accolade on behalf of his late father, Score Group founder Charles Ritchie, during the black-tie Northern Star Business Awards ceremony.
Mr Ritchie senior died, aged 69, after a short illness earlier this year, having already been chosen for his prestigious Northern Star gong.
