Melton council is calling on the community to nominate local businesses for the 2023 City of Melton Business Excellence Awards.
You can nominate your own business or another business within the City of Melton that you believe deserves to be recognised for excellence.
The Business Excellence Awards will be presented at an Awards Evening on Thursday, September 14.
The nine categories for business excellence this year are innovation and transformation; equality, diversity and inclusion; disability and inclusion initiative; sustainable product or process; health, wellness and care; visitation and hospitality; new business or start up; professional services; and young entrepreneur of the year
Mayor Lara Carli said whether you’re a small, family-run operation, a large, well-established business, or something in between, the awards are a “fantastic chance to promote your achievements and the everyday services and products you provide to the community”.
“Our businesses are the lifeblood of our community and council is proud to showcase their innovation, resilience and strength,” she said.
“These awards are among many council initiatives helping local businesses thrive in the City of Melton.”
Varcon Group took out the Business of the Year Award and the Sustainability Leadership Award in 2022.
Deniz Ahmet of Varcon Group said the awards are a “very rewarding opportunity to be acknowledged as a group for your achievements, and successes throughout the year”.
“Being selected as a finalist, and winner was the highlight of the year 2022 for the entire Varcon team. This inspired and provided so much motivation and determination amongst our team, and really did show the hard work paying off,” she said.
Applications close midnight, July 7.
