THIS year’s Ipswich City Local Business Awards featured a business in Rosewood and one in Marburg on the winner’s list.
Rosewood General Practice was announced as the winner of the Best Health Improvement Service awards category.
The Soul Nook Collective from Marburg won the Fashion category.
Member for Ipswich West, Wendy Bourne, was among the VIPs who presented the awards to the winners.
“Local businesses are the backbone of our region, not only driving economic growth but also delivering essential products and services that support our communities every day,” Ms Bourne said.
“I was delighted to present awards and celebrate the outstanding contributions of some of these remarkable businesses.”
Awards founder and Precedent Productions Managing Director Steve Loe said the evening was an exciting culmination to a successful awards program.
“The Local Business Awards recognise the vital role businesspeople play in the lives of their communities,” he said. “
The presentation evening not only sees the announcement of the category winners but is an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of all the finalists.
“We had a sell-out crowd that included our finalists, their families and staff, as well as our partners and local dignitaries who helped to present awards to the winners.”
Excitement filled the room as the finalists in each category were announced, complete with images on the big screen, followed by applause as the winners’ names were read out and they took to the stage to claim their trophies.
“The winners’ speeches are always heartfelt and emotional,” Mr Loe said. “This year was no exception.”
The awards event was held at the North Ipswich Corporate Centre on Wednesday, September 24.
