Businesses were recognised for their outstanding service, innovation, products and professionalism at this year’s Josh’s Rainbow Eggs Macedon Ranges Business Excellence Awards on Friday, November 18.
Kyneton Dry Stone Walling Centre took out Business of the Year, as well as an award for excellence in the manufacturing, trades, retail and innovation category.
Other award winners included Kyneton’s Pearce Electricians (People’s Choice), Gisborne South’s Millett Road Maker (Champion of Social, Environmental or Sustainability Principles), Woodend’s Fox in the Chamber (COVID-19 Business Adaptability ), Kyneton’s Animus Distillery (Excellence in Agribusiness and Food Manufacturing) and more.
Macedon Ranges deputy mayor Jennifer Anderson said it was great to see the awards embraced by local businesses.
“We recognise the time and effort it can take to complete nominations so it was great to see so many get involved,” Cr Anderson said.
“Congratulations to this year’s winners and finalists and to everybody who was part of this fantastic event.
“In 2023 we will be encouraging the community to get involved in rewarding their favourite businesses so look out for these changes. Community support plays such an important role in shaping the success of our local businesses every day.
“The new awards system will allow everybody to demonstrate their appreciation through voting above and beyond being a customer and recommending them to others,” she said.
