The glittering occasion was all the more special coming as it did after 18 difficult months for the community.
Precedent Productions Managing Director and Awards founder Steve Loe said: “There were many tears of joy shed on the night, as the Central Coast business community came together at Mingara Recreation Club to celebrate each other’s achievements and support one another.
“The pandemic has been tough on all members of the community, with businesses hit hard by circumstances that have been beyond anyone’s control.
“It was wonderful to see our finalists come together to relax and celebrate in what has been a difficult time for people around the world.
“The winners now have their trophies, which will no doubt take pride of place in their premises.”
Mr Loe said being a finalist at the Central Coast Local Business Awards presentation night was a great achievement.
“It’s a reflection of the great effort made by all our local businesses in a particularly challenging time,” he said.
“It is with great pride that we celebrate this year’s winners, and I personally congratulate every one of them.”
Mr Loe thanked all sponsors involved in making this year’s awards a reality.
“The Central Coast Local Business Awards are only possible with the support of Awards Partners Central Coast Unity Bank, Bx Networking and White Key Marketing.
“Without them, these outstanding businesses would not receive the recognition they deserve.”
