COVID continues to take a toll on major events on the Shepparton calendar.
Following a recent Shepparton Chamber of Commerce and Industry board meeting and considerable deliberation, the Chamber’s annual business awards have been postponed to 2022.
The awards were set to celebrate 25 years on Friday 29th October at a major gala presentation dinner at Eastbank.
The combination of Shepparton’s lockdown, uncertainty going forward and the tight restrictions on the number of how many people could attend the gala dinner equates to the postponement and a bigger and better awards in 2022.
All nominees from this year’s program will be rolled into the 2022 awards.
Major sponsor, White King Pental, along with media partners, Triple M, WIN TV and The Adviser are excited to continue their support for the awards, which are Shepparton’s premier business service excellence awards.
