“This year we will be featuring a unique and new format that will bring the celebration to our finalist’s homes–which means the entire family can take part.” Ms Martin said. “Like all businesses, our Business Awards have needed to pivot too, and our new format will make our finalists feel like they are walking the red carpet, only in a covid safe way. “A live telecast, online audience participation, VIP catering and pamper packs are just the start of a new Awards experience. Thanks to our sponsors University of Newcastle, NBN CO and Central Coast Business Access, our finalists will have ongoing promotion of their business throughout the year. “Businesses have put everything on the line to create and maintain jobs, they have adapted to changing consumer behaviours and innovated through ongoing disruptions. “Our local businesses employ over 110,000 locals and there are many stories of resilience that deserve to be celebrated.” Ms Martin said.
