The 2023 SPC Business Excellence Awards is set to celebrate exceptional performance demonstrated by businesses across various business sectors. This year marks the 26th anniversary of recognising outstanding business expertise in 11 categories, generating excitement among participants, nominees, their loved ones and the wider community ahead of Friday’s Gala Dinner.
Anticipation is high among the finalists as they eagerly await the announcement of winners in each category, as well as the prestigious Hall of Fame business winner for this year. Tracy Lyle, the executive officer of the Greater Shepparton Business Network, and the board are looking forward to coming together to unveil the category winners and celebrate the remarkable diversity of businesses in the Greater Shepparton Region.
The heartfelt appreciation from this year’s finalists is evident, as they express gratitude to the community members who took the time to nominate them. This recognition arrives as a welcome acknowledgement, particularly after facing several challenging years in business.
The success of these awards would not be possible without the collaborative efforts of numerous organisations in our community each year. The support from media sponsors, including LiSTNR, WIN TV, and The Adviser, has been invaluable, providing incredible coverage and advertising for the Awards. Gratitude is also extended to our sponsors including Shepparton Club, SPC Operations, Are-Able (formerly Wdea Works), Harvey Norman Shepparton, Shepparton & Goulburn Valley, Greater Shepparton Business Centre, Shepparton BMW, GMCU, La Trobe University, OPTUS, and Greater Shepparton City Council Environment Department. These wonderful sponsors have played a vital role in making the Business Excellence Awards possible, and their support is genuinely appreciated, as emphasised by Tracy.
The participation of SPC, Shepparton’s major food processing business, as the Naming Sponsor this year is a fantastic addition. Their involvement highlights their commitment to the local business community and reinforces their position as a central pillar in the thriving food production industry of the Goulburn Valley. The renewed three-year agreement to sponsor the region’s premier business awards further solidifies their important community partnership with the Greater Shepparton Business Network (GSBN), as announced last year.
The upcoming Gala Dinner, held at Eastbank this Friday, promises to be a glamorous affair, featuring Col Cameron as the Master of Ceremonies and live entertainment by Jessica Lorraine Music. Attendees can expect to enjoy a sumptuous three-course meal specially curated by the talented team of The Woolshed at Emerald Bank. This event creates the perfect opportunity for finalists, friends, and members of the business community to come together and celebrate outstanding achievements in the retail and industry sectors within our region.
Tracy extends her best wishes on behalf of the Greater Shepparton Business Network to all the finalists and looks forward to seeing everyone at the Gala Dinner.
