Local Finalist for 2017 Australian Small Business Champion Awards

The Oscars of small business awards is back for its 19th year – and Melbourne business,

Melinda Fell Consulting is a contender to take out the national prize in the Business Services category.

The Australian Small Business Champion Awards is the country’s largest awards program for small business, with nominees across 43 categories.

Steve Loe of Precedent Productions established the awards in 1999 to publicly celebrate the achievements of small business people.

“I grew up in a small business family,” he said.

“As a child, I saw how hard my parents worked and I always thought that they deserved an award for all they achieved through effort and sacrifice.

“Creating the Australian Small Business Awards seemed like an ideal way to honour the contribution that small business people make to our community.

“Since we launched the program in 1999 the Australian Small Business Champion Awards have grown to become the largest and most prestigious recognition of our small business community in the country.”

One of the aims of the Australian Small Business Champion Awards is to encourage excellence.

About 30 judges evaluate the entries and look at all aspects of a winning business including: strategies, customer service, vision, support of the local community and growth.

Mr Loe said financial returns did not necessarily make a winning business.

“There are many small business owners who will never be millionaires, but whose contribution is invaluable,” he said.

There are also two categories for individual business people: Small Business Champion Entrepreneur and Young Small Business Champion Entrepreneur.

Award winners will be announced at the presentation dinner to be held on Saturday 1st April at The Westin Sydney Grand Ballroom.

We congratulate these businesses and commend them on representing their local area in this national awards program,” Mr Loe said.

We also thank the Awards sponsors, whose support for the program enable us to continue to celebrate the achievements of our country’s small business people.
