Finalists all keen to be judged best

ALMOST 270 finalists across 26 categories are vying to be crowned ‘winner’, with judging now well underway in the 2023 Cumberland Local Business Awards.

The gala presentation evening will be held at Wenty Leagues on Tuesday, July 18.
Precedent Productions Managing Director and Awards founder Steve Loe said he never failed to be amazed at the huge number of entries received in support of Cumberland businesses.
“This community is renowned for being close-knit and supportive of one another,” he said.
“This proves, yet again, what a great place it is to live, work and do business.
“Just being a finalist is a huge achievement.”
He said local businesses contributed much more than goods and services to their communities.
“Local businesses contribute to their community’s unique identity,” he said.
“They also give back to the community by sponsoring sporting teams, supporting local charities, providing work experience for students and employment for residents of all ages.”
He said he was pleased to see so many nominate their favourite business for industry recognition and a pat on the back.
“These business people are the backbone of our community,” he said.
The Awards are made possible by the ongoing support of Platinum Partner, Cumberland City Council; Major Partners, NOVA Employment, Stockland Merrylands and Wenty Leagues Club; and Support Partners, White Key Marketing and Cornerstone Community.
