Scenes from last year.

The suspense is finally over Coast readies for the business night of nights ONTHS of suspense are finally over, as the finalists for this year’s Central Coast Local Business Awards are announced.

Central Coast Business Access, which has supported the awards as a media partner, publishes a special feature that lists all the finalists in each category.

Awards founder and Precedent Productions Managing Director Steve Loe said it was the first opportunity for customers and clients to see if the businesses they nominated for the Local Business Awards had become finalists.

“I’d like to thank everyone who took the time to nominate their favourite local businesses for this year’s awards,” he said.

“I know how much it means to all the nominees that members of their community see and appreciate all the efforts that they

M

make to provide the best possible goods and services to their clients and customers.

“All of this now comes to an exciting conclusion at the upcoming gala presentation night.”

Glittering frocks and sensational suits are all part of the glamour of the annual Central Coast Local Business Awards.

The night of nights recognises outstanding local businesses during a presentation ceremony where attendees rival the Hollywood red carpet event as they dress in their best for the occasion.

Due to overwhelming demand, this year’s Central Coast Local Business Awards has been split over two nights and will be held at Mingara Recreation Club on Monday, November 30 and Tuesday, December 1.

Precedent Productions Managing Director and Awards founder Steve Loe said

CENTRAL COAST BUSINESS ACCESS NOVEMBER 2020

the awards presentation was always a popular and exciting event.

Always an excited buzz “The presentation evening is an opportunity for finalists to dress up and enjoy and evening of great food and entertainment, celebrate with their colleagues and friends as well as connect with people from other businesses,” he said.

“There is always an excited buzz in the air as the night gets started, that reaches a fever pitch as the award winners are announced.

“I love screams of excitement as the finalists’ photos appear on the big screen”.

“But what is always especially heartwarming are the loud cheers and applause from the entire audience as each winner is announced.”

The Central Coast Local Business Awards are only possible with the support of our sponsors; Central Coast Unity Bank, Homemaker Lake Haven, White Key Marketing and BxNetworking.

“It’s with great pleasure that I congratulate all the finalists on their achievements, on behalf of the Central Coast Local Business Awards,” Mr Loe said.

“I would also like to thank the Central Coast community for the huge support that they continue to show for their local businesses through the Awards every year.

“Without them, these outstanding businesses would receive the recognition which they deserve.”

Rupert’s treat your pet like their own OT many businesses are named after the family pet and have a four-legged CEO, but that is the case at Rupert’s Pet Cremation & Transport.

Owner/managers Scott and Michelle Annabel’s 13yo Miniature Schnauzer Rupert is the “pet behind the name”.

It means they can stand proudly by their tag line: “We Treat Your Pet Like Our Own”.

And their love of pets certainly doesn’t end there – in fact they also have Rampage the Rottweiler, plus Chocolate, Cheese & Chive the Chickens! So when it comes to pets, they certainly are experts.

Michelle takes up the story: “At Rupert’s Pet Cremation & Transport our aim is to ease the grief associated with losing a beloved pet, by providing a compassionate, individual and timely cremation service. Our guarantee is that the client will receive all and only their pets’ ashes back.

“Our fully trained, accredited and caring team will look after everything from collection, to return of the pets ashes usually within four business days. Pets can be collected from and returned to, home or vet.

The finished Cremation Package and extras come beautifully wrapped and carefully presented in a recyclable paper bag.”

“We have extended opening hours; 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday, 10am – 2pm Saturday and after hours appointments: this offers customers flexibility and a quick response to their inquiries. Beyond this, we provide support by phone, SMS, email and literature. There are also details of grief counselling services available on our website.”

“Rupert’s offer a range of Cremation Packages to choose from or we can tailor a package to meet the clients’ needs. Our stunning range of Urns are sensitive and delicate in style, to enhance calm and peace in distressing times. There are a variety of options available: Premium Metal Urns, Premium Timber Urns, Basic Timber Urns

N

and Scatter Boxes. While our Cremation Packages range in price, they do not range in quality; this ensures there is an option for all clients. Costs are competitive and in line with the current market.”

“Our memorial products range currently includes: a selection of Garden Memorial Stones and a Memorial Box. Rupert’s also offers individually tailored memorial products to customise a clients’ Cremation Package: such as Custom Framed Paw Print Moulds, High Resolution Paw Print Photos, ‘In Loving Memory’ Candles and Urn Plaques.”

“Every Cremation Package features a personalised Memorial Box with ‘In Loving

Memory’ Candle,choice of plaque color and inscription as well as other keepsakes.

Further memorial products can be added to the package to help commemorate the beloved pet.”

So how did Michelle and Scott come up with this unusual idea?

Scott said: “We established it in May 2017 with a goal to provide the best and most compassionate cremation service. Due to our previous experiences with cremation of our past beloved pets, we are passionate about providing all our clients and their pets with the utmost care, respect and dignity.”

“Beginning with just one or two crema-

tions a week, a few Urn options, no extra memorial products and one veterinary practice on board, Rupert’s has since grown into a thriving partnership. We feel this is due to demand, client satisfaction and the lack of similar service offered in the area.”

“Rupert’s now assists 15 to 20 pets per week on their final journeys, offer 10 different Urn styles/colors/designs, look after 10 veterinary practices on the Central Coast and stock a range of additional memorial products to complement our Cremation Packages.” www.rpct.com.au www.facebook.com.au/Ruperts.Pet.Cremation

G
