Who’s in for the big prize?
HOLLYWOOD has the Oscars and the music industry has the Grammys – but for Parramatta businesses, the annual night of nights is Tuesday, August 6, 2024.
That’s the date of the 2024 Parramatta Local Business Awards.
Precedent Productions Managing Director and Awards founder Steve Loe said: “There’s no doubt that local business owners and their sta work hard to provide the best possible service to their customers.
“That’s why the annual Parramatta Local Business Awards presentation night is always such a popular event.
“It’s a glittering event that gives nalists a chance to dress up and take a break so they can enjoy an evening out with entertainment, good food, relaxed chat and celebration with their colleagues and people from other businesses from around the district.”
Mr Loe said being a nalist at the Parramatta Local Business Awards presentation night was an enormous achievement.
Today is the day when nominees for the 2024 Parramatta Local Business Awards discover if they have made it as a nalist.
Mr Loe said the high quality of all nominees had made the job of judges incredibly di cult.
“The Parramatta Times which has supported the awards as media partner for many years, will announce the nalists in each category with a special feature in today’s publication,” he said.
“This is a chance for customers and clients to see if the businesses they nominated have become nalists.”
“It’s also a chance for business people and their teams to re ect on their successes with a fun night out,” he said. “All nalists in each category are announced, with their picture shown on the big screen which is a great re ection of all their e orts and everyone is extremely proud to be there.
“It’s heart-warming to hear the
deafening cheers from the crowd as everyone celebrates the achievement of all the businesses in the room.”
The Parramatta Local Business Awards are only possible with the support of major sponsors, NOVA Employment and support sponsors, The Epping Club, White Key Marketing, Bx Networking,.
“It’s with great pleasure that I congratulate all the nalists on their achievements, on behalf of the Parramatta Local Business Awards,” Mr Loe said.
“I would also like to thank the Parramatta community for the huge support that they continue to show for their local businesses through the Awards every year.
Without them, these outstanding businesses wouldn’t receive the recognition they deserve.”
