NORTHERN RIVERS REGIONAL BUSINESS AWARDS FINALISTS ANNOUNCED

The NSW Business Chamber is pleased to announce the finalists for the 2021 Northern Rivers Regional Business Awards.
The Northern Rivers Business Awards recognises excellence in business, leadership, entrepreneurship, sustainability, innovation, business growth and employment practices across diverse areas of business including manufacturing, trades, health care, community, retail, tourism and business services.
“The state-wide awards program is a result of the strong relationships between Business NSW and Local Chambers of Commerce alliance partners. The awards program provides an exceptional opportunity to celebrate excellence across the local business community and showcase their success at a local, regional and state level,” said Business NSW Regional Manager, Jane Laverty.
“Encompassing in the 7 Local Government Areas of Tweed, Byron, Ballina, Kyogle, Lismore, Richmond Valley and the Clarence Valley, the 2021 Northern Rivers Regional Business Awards celebrate business excellence across our region, with winners to be announced at an Awards Celebration event on Saturday 23 October.” said Jane Laverty.
Over the past few years, the Northern Rivers Region has seen our best and brightest acknowledged for their achievements regionally, and also on the State stage including Brookfarm, Stone & Wood and BeeInventive (Flowhive) who was crowned for Innovation Excellence and awarded the top gong of State Business of the Year winner at the State awards in 2018.
“Judging by the calibre of our 130 entries this year, I am confident that we will again have the opportunity to represent Team Northern Rivers at the State Awards where our winners compete against 12 other regions from across NSW and Sydney” said Mrs Laverty.
“Due to Covid restrictions we made the decision to host the Regional Business Awards as an online production event (if the ARIA’s can do it so can we) which enables all finalists and their staff to be part of the evening and celebrate in the comfort of their own loungeroom or appropriate local venue. It’s different, but that is something we are all getting used to and we felt it was too important an occasion to not pull out all the stops possible to celebrate our businesses of excellence”. Mrs Laverty said.
“With the support of our partners NRMA Insurance, Southern Cross University, TURSA, TAFE NSW, Clarence Property, Sourdough Business Pathways, Northern Rivers Review and Northern Rivers Provedore we are sending each of our Finalists a Finalists Cheer Box full of local goodies and surprises to help them celebrate the night in style”.
