The Importance of hosting Business Awards
How they benefit your business and the Glen Innes Region
In October 2023, GIBC will be hosting our first Business Awards night since pre-pandemic times to recognise and reward outstanding businesses in the Glen Innes region. Delivering a successful Business Awards has been a major objective for our chamber, and we believe the benefits of this sort of campaign have wide-reaching effects for both businesses and the Glen Innes Highlands as a whole.
The Business Awards aim to bring the local community together in celebration of local businesses, and individuals, who have worked hard throughout the year. Business Awards promote the outstanding products and service offerings in our towns, as well as innovation, leadership and sustainable practices across a wide variety of industries. It is also a chance to dress up and enjoy a prestigious night out surrounded by a supportive business community.
Beyond the immediate advantages for businesses, Business Awards provide larger benefits that align with the economic development and prosperity of the township. Business Awards create a level excellence and customer service that can motivate and inspire others in the business community, in turn increasing the credibility and attractiveness of the region leading to development, growth and expansion.
So how does participating benefits your business?
