Hawkesbury Local Business Awards – Simply, an Unforgettable Evening
THIS year’s Hawkesbury Local Business Awards was a sensational spectacular that provided a fitting finale to the annual event.
This year’s winners exchanged hugs while cheers filled the room as they made their way to the stage on Monday, November 3.
Awards founder and Precedent Productions Managing Director Steve Loe said the evening was an exciting culmination to a successful awards program.
“The Local Business Awards recognise the vital role business people play in the lives of their communities,” he said. “The presentation evening not only sees the announcement of the category winners but is an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of all the finalists.
“We had a sell-out crowd that included our finalists, their families and staff, as well as our partners and local dignitaries who helped to present awards to the winners.”
Excitement filled the room as the finalists in each category were announced, complete with images on the big screen, followed by applause as the winners’ names were read out and they took to the stage to claim their trophies.
“The winners’ speeches are always heartfelt and emotional,” Mr Loe said. “This year was no exception.”
“Of course, the awards are only possibly with the ongoing support of our Presenting Partner: Commonwealth Bank, Major Partners: NOVA Employment and Richmond Marketplace and Support Partners: White Key Marketing, media partner North West News and Hawkesbury City Chamber of Commerce.
Mr Loe said, “their involvement proves their commitment to their community and the businesses that thrive there.”
Mr Loe also thanked Windsor Function Centre for the high quality food and service it provided. “Thanks to them it was a five-star occasion,” he said.
“I would also like to acknowledge the remarkable talent who provided entertainment on the evening and our excellent Chris Ninni who kept the evening flowing smoothly.”
