his year’s Penrith City Local Business Awards was a glittering spectacular that provided a fitting finale to the annual event. This year’s winners exchanged exuberant hugs and cheers filled the room as they made their way to the stage late last month over two nights. Awards founder and Precedent Productions Managing Director Steve Loe said the evening was an exciting culmination to a successful awards program. “The Local Business Awards recognise the vital role business people play in the lives of their communities,” he said. “The presentation evening not only sees the
announcement of the category winners but is an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of all the finalists. “We had a sell-out crowd that included our finalists, their families and staff, as well as our sponsors and local dignitaries, who helped to present awards to the winners.” The Western Weekender captured all the excitement as the finalists in each category were announced, complete with images on the big screen, followed by huge cheers as the winners’ names were read out and they took to the stage to claim their trophies. “The winners’ speeches are always heartfelt and emotional,” Mr Loe said. “This year was no exception. It’s very
emotional for everyone there to see their tears and smiles as well as hear the beautiful acceptance speeches.” As official media partner for the Penrith City Local Business Awards, the The Western Weekender today publishes a winners’ feature, that recognises all category winners from the presentation evening. “Of course, the awards are only possible with the support of Presenting Partners, Commonwealth Bank and Major Partners, Panthers Penrith and NOVA Employment and Support Sponsors, Westfield Penrith, Nepean Village, Penrith Homemaker Centre, Southlands Shopping Centre, Nepean Regional Security, Bx Networking, Penrith Valley Chamber of
Commerce and White Key Marketing,” Mr Loe said. “Their involvement proves their commitment to their community and the businesses that thrive there.” Mr Loe also thanked the EVAN Theatre for the high quality food and service it provided. “Thanks to them it was a five-star occasion,” he said. “I would also like to acknowledge the incredible entertainment and our fabulous MC Paul Hancock who kept the evening flowing smoothly.” Businesses can register for the 2023 Local Business Awards at www.thebusinessawards. com.au.
