2009 Suncorp Western Sydney Awards for Business Excellence

kick off for a new season

Tuesday 5th May 2009 saw the launch of the expanded Suncorp Western Sydney Awards for Business Excellence at an outstanding event held at Parramatta Stadium’s Cumberland Lounge.

Attended by such dignitaries as Parramatta Lord Mayor Cr Tony Issa, Suncorp Bank’s State Manager Business Customers NSW Mr Brian Morris, and Parramatta Councillors Paul Garrard, Paul Barber and John Chedid, the launch of the 2009 awards was attended by 120 local business representatives who were treated to a fantastic goal kicking display by Super-Eel Krisnan Inu.

In their 19^th year, these prestigious awards, formally known as the Suncorp Parramatta Regional Awards for Business Excellence, have expanded to become known as the Western Sydney Awards for Business Excellence.

In 2009 businesses and social enterprises from throughout western Sydney will vie for the celebrated $10,000 Suncorp Business of the Year Award, as well as the 11 category awards on offer.

Parramatta Chamber of Commerce President Trevor Oldfield said the new-look Suncorp Awards, an initiative of the Parramatta Chamber, were receiving strong support from the Minister for Western Sydney David Borger.

Mr Borger today welcomed the expansion of the program and urged businesses across Western Sydney to enter the 2009 Suncorp Awards.

“I fully support the expansion of the Suncorp Western Sydney Awards for Business Excellence.

All companies across Greater Western Sydney are eligible to enter this excellent Awards program and show the rest of the region and beyond that they are strong players in Australia’s third largest regional economy.”

Mr Oldfield said the Suncorp Awards, which began in 1991, had evolved into a premiere event – as a showcase of business excellence and for its annual Gala Awards Presentation Night.

“In 2003, after moving their NSW Business Banking headquarters to Parramatta, Suncorp Business Banking, chose to partner with our Awards to help further its business objectives and support business in its new ‘hometown’.” Mr Oldfield said.
