Over 70 entries were received, with the Excellence in Small or Home Based Business the most hotly contested category. Eurobodalla’s five Chambers of Commerce and Council’s business development team have worked together to get the shire-wide awards up and running for the first time in 2016.
Council’s Business Assistance Manager Sarah Cooper is a member of the Awards working group, and said she hopes the awards will become an annual event.
“We’ve been thrilled with the response from the business community and it’s exciting that we’ll be recognising outstanding business achievement together in 2016,” she said. “We hope to see lots of businesses represented at the dinner next month. It promises to be a lovely night.”
The awards are endorsed by the NSW Business Chamber and the winners in most local categories will progress to the regional awards.
