The 2019 Awards exceeded our expectations and has grown significantly from last year’s awards. We're very grateful to the businesses to who took the time to enter, without their nominations and support of the awards, it wouldn’t be so successful. The calibre of businesses who entered were so diverse and the Griffith business community should be proud of their achievements and was reflected by the number of entrants.
Entering the awards provides businesses the opportunity to evaluate their position, assess their goals, challenges and strategies to move ahead. It’s not about how profitable you are which determines success, its how you internally manage your business, the initiatives you undertake and how you encourage your employees to be the best they can be.
A huge thank you to all our sponsors for helping us reward the business community!
