Depth of Lake Mac business talent on show in awards finalists
Published on 08 July 2022
Finalists in this year’s Lake Mac Business Excellence Awards reflect the depth and diversity of business across the city, according to Lake Macquarie Mayor Kay Fraser.
Cr Fraser, one of a panel of judges for this year’s awards, said almost 100 entries were received after a call for submissions in May.
“It was pleasing to see lots of new applicants this year, and the applications were almost universally of a very high standard,” she said.
“There was actually quite a bit of discussion and debate among the judges to determine finalists in some categories because many had so many fantastic entries.”
Finalists range from an early childhood centre to a volunteer group of local healthcare workers, providing life-saving CPR training to people in the community.
Winners will be announced at a gala ceremony at Belmont 16s on Friday 29 July, with most category winners progressing to the Hunter Business Awards later this year.
The Lake Mac Business Excellence Awards are proudly supported by gold sponsor Dantia, silver sponsors Allambi Care, Oasis Media, Ramsay Health and the University of Newcastle, and bronze sponsors ATUNE Health Centres, Kent Conveyancing, Hunter Water, Jodie Harrison MP, Lake Mac Holiday Parks, National Australia Bank, Safearth, VBD Business, Tax & Wealth Advisers, and media partner Newcastle Herald.
