The inaugural Mornington Peninsula Business Excellence Awards have delivered excellence in spades. They were established to recognise excellence, and they certainly delivered that.
Two hundred Peninsula business people and their supporters came together on a perfect October evening at Mornington Racing Club for the gala presentation event. There was a buzz around the room as businesses took the opportunity to share the night with their colleagues and connect with other like-minded business people.
Over the course of the evening, the nine category winners were announced by engaging MC Tracy Bartram, with their awards presented by Mayor Anthony Marsh, who said: “These awards are about showcasing the best of the best. Tonight you’ll hear about the finalists and winners that have impressed the judges with their business excellence, innovation and sustainability.”
The Small Business Mentoring Service was contracted to ensure the entry selection and judging process was impartial and transparent. First, the entries were assessed for eligibility, and applicants were shortlisted in their respective categories, with two to four businesses in each category chosen for their excellence, innovation and sustainability. Then all of the shortlisted businesses were visited on site by the mentors so they could gain a deeper insight into the business. The judges then came together at a moderated meeting and determined the winners of each category.
Finally, the Business of the Year Award was chosen from among the nine category winners.
