The 2025 Greater Shepparton SPC Business Excellence Awards Gala Dinner was a night to remember — a sold-out celebration of innovation, teamwork and success across the region’s thriving business community.

Now in its 28th year, the event welcomed 500 guests who swapped uniforms and hi-vis for suits and sequins, gathering to recognise the achievements of local businesses that make Greater Shepparton such a powerhouse of enterprise and community spirit.

With a record 467 nominations across 14 categories and 87 finalists, this year’s awards showcased the incredible diversity of our local industry, from mechanics and animal day-care providers to health and wellness professionals, cleaners and collectors.
