JUDGING of the Hawkesbury Local Business Awards has started, as hundreds of finalists prepare for the visit of mystery shopper judges.

Shops and offices are getting an extra polish on the door handle and staff are putting some extra pizzazz into their smiles, not knowing if the next person to walk through the door will be one of the awards’ anonymous judges.

Precedent Productions Managing Director and Awards Founder Steve Loe said thousands of businesses registered for this year’s awards.

“The anonymous judges will visit each finalist, where they will assess all aspects of customer service including greeting and customer acknowledgement, detailed product knowledge, and value for money. They may also look at other aspects of the business, such as its website and social media.”

Finalists can also submit information about themselves to be considered by the judges including: the history of the business, staff training and motivation, work in the local community, environmental sustainability efforts, and future prospects.

The full list of finalists is available at www.thebusinessawards.com.au.

Mr Loe said: “The finalists also have another task ahead of them – planning what to wear to the presentation ceremony. The awards ceremony is the night of nights on the small business calendar each year.

“Finalists tell us how much they and their staff look forward to the awards presentation as an evening to enjoy each other’s company, the social atmosphere and networking opportunities, the great food and entertainment, as well as the excitement and suspense as the winners of each category are announced.”

The awards presentation will be held on Tuesday, 4th November at Windsor Function Centre.

“Tickets to the event are now available and are expected to sell quickly,” Mr Loe said.

Tickets can be secured through your Local Business Awards profile at www.thebusinessawards.com.au or by calling Precedent Productions on 8363 3333.

“The Hawkesbury Local Business Awards is only possible with the unwavering support of Presenting Partner: Commonwealth Bank, Major Partners: NOVA Employment and Richmond Marketplace, and Support Partners, White Key Marketing, Hawkesbury City Chamber of Commerce and our media partners – The North West News and Hawkesbury Gazette.” Mr Loe said.

“Their support of the Local Business Awards program reflects their ongoing commitment to local businesses in the area and is essential in the running of the program”.
