"These awards provide an exceptional opportunity to celebrate excellence in the local business community and showcase their success at a local, regional and state level."
Judging by the caliber of finalists this year, Mr Townsend said some amazing local businesses will be recognised whose accomplishments contribute to the local and regional community.
