Printer supports local business awards
As local business people themselves, Steve and Kim Silvi know a thing or two about the trials and tribulations of small business management and growth.
That's why they didn't have to think too long before agreeing to be the official print sponsors of this year's Gosnells City Business & Tourism Business Awards.
“Sometimes in small business we're all so busy that
we forget to recognise the quality providers and real innovators in our field,†said centre owner Steve Silvi.
“We're delighted to be able to sponsor local awards
that do just that.â€
Worldwide Gosnells has designed and printed the nomination packs for the awards, along with items
like menus and certificates. All the material is being printed on Worldwide's range of environmentally
friendly paper.
Worldwide Green is one of the few papers made entirely from post-consumer waste. It's therefore much better for the environment than paper made from pre-consumer waste because the material has already been used as a consumer item, like a milk carton or box, before being recycled and reconstituted into paper.
Any business which operates within the City of Gosnells is eligible to enter, and business can enter any of the 18 Business Category Awards ranging from New, or Home Based Business, through to Business of the Year.
Alternatively, if members of the public have had an excellent experience with a local business or business person and feel they deserve public recognition, they can be nominated for one of the two Community Awards.
The Gosnells centre is sponsoring two category awards – one for Best Franchised Business and the other for Innovation & Marketing.
“We're part of a great business community here in Gosnells. It's really rewarding to be part of a set of awards that recognises that,†says co-owner Kim Silvi.
Nominations close on 15 October.
“Anyone can nominate an achieving business. If you think you know a fantastic local business, don't wait for someone else to nominate – do it yourself!†said Steve.
The judging panel consists of four independent professionals who are chosen for their independence and experience in small business operations.
Three finalists will be selected for each category, with one winner in each category. Finalists will be notified prior to the awards dinner.
A Nominee's function will be held by the City of Gosnells on Wednesday 22nd October at the Lyle Richardson Hall, Agonis Centre, Gosnells.
The awards will be presented at a Gala Awards Dinner on Wednesday 29th October 2008 at the Gosnells Golf Club. This event is a major project of the Gosnells City Business & Tourism Association and provides a fantastic opportunity to celebrate with staff, family members and friends.
“Good luck to all businesses in the community – there are a lot of worthy competitors this year!â€
