“We promote our Award wins in all of our marketing. Such achievements have increased our sales by increasing our loyal customer base and generating new customers who see us as the best in our local industry. Also, celebrating at the Awards dinner with our staff means they have greater pride in their work, are more likely to stick with our team and work hard to keep up the high standard".

The Awards provide a valuable opportunity for business to review their processes and practices and to benchmark themselves against the best our region has to offer.

2010 Excellence in Business Category Winner

“Focus was the winner of the 2007 Greater Port Macquarie Business of the Year. The award gave us the confidence to hire more staff, launch our product into other areas and expand our business. It also helped cement the Focus name in the community and was a vote of confidence, not only for us, but also for all the businesses and people who had supported us. Being in business is almost never easy, so to be voted as a finalist or winner is a great reward to you and your team for all the hard work. We are proud to call the Chamber of Commerce Business Awards a benchmark target for our business each year.”
