Telstra Margaret River Business Awards

The Telstra Margaret River Business Awards will be upon us next month – and our Business Advisor Sana Turnock is among the 10 judges assessing submissions.

Applicants will showcase their businesses in a number of areas, including business growth and development, marketing, customer service and ethical responsibility.

“I am genuinely excited as I read through the business award submissions,” Sana said.

“There are a variety of different businesses throwing their hat into the ring to become a finalist this year, and there are some real standouts for different reasons. I have been particularly impressed with what some small businesses are doing to give back to the community and how they are thinking  outside the box to become ethically responsible and sustainable.”

Sana said there is some real thought being put towards sustainability as part of the business model.

“This may be through recycling, being a paperless business, the use of solar panels and led lighting, packaging choices, being water-wise, turning office or kitchen waste into compost for use in community gardens, being mindful of how/when electricity is used and using eco-biodegradable towels,” she said.

“Not only do such practices benefit the business directly by saving on costs, a lighter environmental footprint is left behind and in some cases, there is a direct benefit to the community.”

The awards will be hosted by the Margaret River Chamber of Commerce, at Willow’s Function Centre, Wednesday, August 29.
