An enduring tribute to extraordinary achievement, resilience and community impact, the Hall of Fame represents the highest honour awarded annually at the Greater Shepparton Business Excellence Awards.

Proudly hosted by the Greater Shepparton Business Network and sponsored by local icon SPC, the Hall of Fame recognises businesses that have stood the test of time, made lasting contributions to the region and forged a lasting legacy.

Since the Hall of Fame Awards’ inception in 2007, 16 exceptional businesses have been inducted. Last year, Watters Electrical joined their ranks, with Managing Director Robin Knaggs accepting the honour in recognition of over 60 years of outstanding service and dedication to the local business community.

Being inducted into the Hall of Fame not only validates years of hard work and commitment but also celebrates the profound impact each inductee has had on their industry and the Greater Shepparton community.

As we eagerly anticipate welcoming this year’s inductee, who, through their remarkable achievements, has played an integral role in shaping Greater Shepparton into the vibrant region it is today, the next Greater Shepparton Business Excellence Awards recipient will be announced at the Gala Dinner held on Friday, October 24, at Riverlinks Eastbank.
