AS our region faces the enormous task of flood clean-up, the 2022 White King-Pental Business Excellence Awards Gala Dinner planned for Friday, October 28 has been postponed.
Close to 500 guests were set to attend the special 25th Gala Business Awards, after a two-year Covid-induced hiatus. Despite the gala being postponed, Shepparton Chamber of Commerce and Industry is immensely proud of the calibre of nominees.
“The 200+ individuals/businesses nominated this year from across the greater Shepparton region, is a testament to the camaraderie and fortitude of our entire business community. It is great to see people getting behind the Business Excellence Awards and nominating, celebrating the amazing diversity of business within the Greater Shepparton community,” said Shepparton Chamber of Commerce and Industry executive officer, Tracy Lyle.
“Surprisingly, some of our finalists admitted to not being aware how much they are appreciated or what a great job they are doing, so being nominated was an unexpected and a much-appreciated lift.”
Although now postponed the Chamber and sponsors look forward to celebrating 25 years of the Business Excellence awards with the 2021 and 2022 finalists, as well as friends, family and the business community.
“Our thoughts are with the community, your families and businesses as you deal with the impact of the recent floods and post-flood recovery,” said Tracy.
“We will be working to reschedule this event for a future date, hopefully very soon. We will provide further communication on this new event date once we have made arrangements.”
