NOMINATIONS for the 2025 Greater Shepparton SPC Business Excellence Awards are looking strong, which is a great reflection of the enthusiasm across the region.
Each year, the Business Excellence Awards, facilitated by GSBN and made possible thanks to the generous support of Naming Rights Sponsor SPC and valued Award Category Sponsors, shine a spotlight on the remarkable businesses and individuals making a difference in our community.
While many categories have received strong interest, a few are currently underrepresented. We’re encouraging the community to get involved and help highlight outstanding local achievements by nominating in the following sponsored categories:
- Excellence in Export Market Development – Recognises businesses that have successfully expanded into international markets and contributed to our local economy through export. Nominees in this category will have built strong export strategies, developed international relationships, and shown sustained success overseas.
- Excellence in Food & Agribusiness – Celebrates innovation, performance, and impact within the food and agribusiness sector. This award honours businesses that champion sustainable practices, lead with innovation, and contribute meaningfully to the industry’s growth — all while engaging with their community and showing environmental responsibility.
- Visitor Experience of the Year – Honours businesses that go above and beyond to deliver exceptional visitor experiences. Whether through food and beverage, accommodation, events, attractions, or cultural experiences, this category is open to a wide range of operators — from cafés, pubs, and distilleries to museums, tours, and caravan parks.
With 14 award categories in total, there’s something for every business across the Greater Shepparton region. Nominations by the community and self-nominations are welcome and encouraged via the simple online form.
Nominations for the Greater Shepparton SPC Business Excellence Awards close Friday, August 22 — don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate and recognise the people and businesses shaping the future of our region.
