The Albury Wodonga Business Awards recognise and honour the exceptional contributions of businesses to our local economy and community. The awards are jointly run by Albury Business Connect and Business Wodonga, with both organisations continually working for the betterment of the local business community.
Glen Robinson, General Manager, Albury Business Connect, attributes this year’s awards success to the strength and resilience of the Albury Wodonga and surrounding region’s business community.
“This year’s Albury Wodonga Business Awards has seen an unprecedented level of engagement from our business community.
“With over twice the number of businesses putting themselves forward for recognition, the program has been both rewarding and exciting. This is a testament to our hard-working business community and their desire to showcase their efforts over the last 12 months,” Mr Robinson said.
Graham Jenkin, CEO, Business Wodonga, said: “The Albury Wodonga Business Awards is the perfect opportunity for local businesses to showcase the brilliance of what they have built and benchmark themselves against others.
“Despite the enormous pressure that many business operators currently face, that they take the time to show their pride by entering shows the importance of holding these awards annually.”
