The Precedent Productions Managing Director, who founded the awards more than three decades ago, said it was an opportunity for members of the community to show their support for local businesses who had been through an unprecedented year due to COVID-19.
“Nominating your favourite local businesses is an opportunity to show your appreciation and support for them,” he said.
“Vote for your favourite business by heading to the Local Business Awards website www.thebusinessawards.com.au and searching for your favourite business.”
“As members of the community, we reap the benefits of their efforts, which can make our own lives happier and easier in many ways.”
“Sometimes it’s as simple as a friendly smile and sympathetic ear from the staff in a shop that lifts your spirits when you’re having a bad day.”
“Or it may be a supplier who works tirelessly to ensure an urgent stock delivery reaches you on time.
“Nominating someone for their outstanding service or products is a great way to thank these people who, now more than ever, need our support.”
Mr Loe said businesses could also self-nominate to show staff how much their efforts were valued.
The Inner West Local Business Awards are made possible by the ongoing support of Major Partners Inner West Council, NOVA Employment and Big Clean and Support Partners Strathfield Council, Burwood Council, Burwood Plaza, Bx Networking, Majors Bay Road Chamber of Commerce and White Key Marketing.
Mr Loe said “the Awards are only possible because of the Awards partners and their support.”
