Get ready for the Whittlesea Business Awards

Whittlesea council has opened entries for the 2024 City of Whittlesea Business Awards, focusing on innovation and talent within the local business sector.

Chair administrator Lydia Wilson said the awards offered a unique platform for entrepreneurs, innovators and hardworking operators in Whittlesea to showcase their successes and contributions to the community and industry.

“The City of Whittlesea Business Awards are not just about recognising excellence, they’re about inspiring our business community to strive for a higher standard of innovation, sustainability and service,” she said.

“Through our business awards, we want to highlight the incredible talent and dedication that drive the City of Whittlesea’s economic landscape.

“The awards are an opportunity to come together, share our successes and set new benchmarks for excellence.”

The awards will span six categories, including a new addition this year for home-based businesses.

Ms Wilson underscored the integral role of home-based businesses within the community for their innovation, resilience and ties to the community.

The other categories include customer service, innovation and enterprise, sustainability and environment, community contribution, and workplace diversity.

The grand award, the 2024 business of the year, will be chosen from the winners of these categories, honouring a business that represents excellence in all areas.
