As a result of the lockdown and the MidCoast Business Awards Committee has made the decision to reschedule the Awards till the Saturday 12th February 2022.
In the face of the current uncertainty this will provide businesses more time to prepare and submit their entries and ensure that we are able to have as many attend as possible.
For some essential businesses COVID restrictions mean they are busier than ever and their challenge is trying to meet demand within the ever-changing restriction conditions and with the health and safety of their customers and staff at the forefront. For others this is an opportunity to refine their business model and put in place strategies for when restrictions ease. Businesses that enter the Insurance Advisernet MidCoast Business Awards find the process itself can be helpful in identifying future opportunities and areas they may need to improve.
“We have entered the business awards 2 years in a row and I have found the process of working through our application quite enlightening. As a business owner, who is always intent upon improving and growing our business, I don't always stop and consider just how far we have progressed. As multi award winners, these awards have provided a powerful marketing opportunity while creating shared excitement about our business”. Denise Haynes, Business Owner, R&R Property.
The Business Excellence Awards are open to all businesses throughout the MidCoast region in the areas of Tourism & Hospitality, Professional Services, Health & Wellbeing, Retail Services and Trades and Construction. All entries will be judged by independent experts from out of the region.
