Local manufacturer SpotGo, took out the coveted 2021 Central Coast Business of the Year Award at a ceremony held online in front of over 150 business leaders.
“Tonight’s awards took time to celebrate the success of hard-working Central Coast Businesses. A well-deserved spotlight was shone on 52 finalists who have shown how their resilience, perseverance and sheer hard work have seen them through the very difficult year we have just had.” Business NSW Regional Director Paula Martin said.
“The 2021 Central Coast Business Awards recognise growth, entrepreneurship, and celebrates business success and resilience.
“We received nearly 100 applications for 10 different categories.
“These awards are a wonderful opportunity to showcase the ingenuity, strength and resilience of Central Coast NSW businesses.” Ms Martin said.
“The last few years have been incredibly tough as businesses have been impacted bushfires, floods and now Covid.
“When we launched these Awards earlier in the year, we hadn’t expected we would be dealing with the current lockdown.
“But like our business members, we too pivoted and delivered a gala event with as much glitz and glamour but safe for all our community.
With the support of Platinum Sponsor NBN Co and Premium Partner The University of Newcastle, Business NSW hand delivered a full celebratory experience straight to finalist and guest homes to enjoy while they watched the live stream of the event - family, staff and friends all joined in on the celebration.
Winners of the 2021 Central Coast Business Awards, will then represent the region at the State Business Awards to be held in November.
“Based on the caliber of this year’s finalists, I expect that our regional winners will again do very well at the State Business Awards.” Ms Martin said.
