The WSABE Awards are the premier business awards event in Greater Western Sydney. They recognise outstanding businesses by showcasing their achievements and exposing excellence in the business community.
This year there are 21 award categories, including new categories such as Lord Mayor's Excellence in Customer Service Parramatta and four new Excellence in Customer Service Local Government Council awards. The annual awards gala event will be held at WatervieW in Bicentennial Park on August 19, 2016.
The WSABE program started as the Parramatta Regional Awards for Business Excellence in 1991 and transformed into the regional awards program in 2009 when the program was renamed the Western Sydney Awards for Business Excellence.
Established in 1991 by the Parramatta Chamber of Commerce, these awards are unique in that they are not voted on; instead submissions are assessed by judges. This merit based process gives the awards prestige value in the reion.
“Recognising excellence in innovation, education, business ethics and community service amongst others, the Awards is a fully regional program that has helped hundreds of businesses generate millions of dollars,” said WSABE Awards Patron Alan Cadman OAM
Many success stories have followed the winning of a WSABE Award including businesses like Coleman Greig Lawyers (2014 winner of Employer of Choice and Business of the Year) and Edible Bug Shop which was put in the spotlight by winning the Innovation award in 2014.
2015 winner RBK Nutraceuticals (winner of Excellence in Export) progressed to the NSWBC annual Awards where they went on to win both Excellence in Export and the coveted NSW Business of the Year.
Founder and CEO of RBK Nutraceuticals, David Mumford says: “We’re on the edge of even greater growth now because of the chamber’s support.”
“Our credibility and great supply chains put us in a good spot to grow for the next five years. These prestigious awards provide the opportunity to showcase the importance and brilliant work of examples such as last year’s Business of the Year Children’s Medical Research Institute.”
