Charter Towers Regional Council has announced the launch of the 2023 Inaugural Charters Towers Regional Business Excellence Awards, to recognise and celebrate the achievements of the local business community.
Mayor, Frank Beveridge said Charters Towers Region had a diverse and dedicated business community across mining, agricultural, and tourism and these industries, together with small to medium enterprises, all contribute to the economic vitality of the community.
“The 2023 Regional Business Excellence Awards will be an opportunity to showcase and acknowledge the accomplishments of our leading businesses,” said Mayor Beveridge.
Council is now looking to partner with businesses interested in becoming sponsors of one of the seven Award categories.
The categories include Customer Excellence, Technological and Innovation Impact, Employer of Choice, Environmental Contribution, New and Emerging Business, Business of the Year, and People’s Choice.
“The creation of these awards is another direct result of implementing the Charters Towers Regional Economic Development and Innovation Strategy (EDIS),” the Mayor said.
“We all know that business is a full-time calling requiring years of hard work, determination, and commitment.
“It is hoped that potential sponsors will see the opportunity to be involved as a way of supporting businesses who have weathered the tough times and come out the other side stronger and more resilient.”
Nominations will open on 30 January and close on 28 February 2023 after which the judging process will commence. The awards will be presented at a gala event evening planned for Saturday, 20 May 2023.
A number of dedicated workshops will be held through the nomination and judging process to assist people.
