FOR more than three decades, the Greater Shepparton Business Network (GSBN, formerly Shepparton Chamber of Business and Industry) has been at the forefront of local industry, fostering a thriving business community and recognising exceptional achievements.
This year, the annual Business Excellence Awards, proudly supported by Naming Rights sponsor SPC, once again honour the outstanding contributions of businesses and individuals who have set the bar for excellence in Greater Shepparton.
Since its inception, the Awards have celebrated countless successes, with 15 exceptional businesses earning a coveted place in the prestigious Hall of Fame. These inductees represent the pinnacle of business achievement in the region, demonstrating unwavering commitment, innovation, and a positive impact on the community.
At last year’s event, Phillips Cellars and Regional Wine Centre was recognised for its legacy and impact on the local wine industry.
Thanking the community for supporting the business, owner Paul Phillips said, “Phillips Cellars and Regional Wine Centre has evolved over 47 years, yet the main emphasis has been to sell local wine. Receiving the 2023 Business Excellence Awards Hall of Fame award is an honour for my father Don and myself.”
As we eagerly anticipate the announcement of the next Hall of Fame inductee at the 2024 SPC Business Excellence Awards gala dinner, we reflect on the rich history of this event and its enduring legacy in shaping Greater Shepparton’s future.
