Hunter Business Awards
The Hunter Business Awards is the region’s most prestigious awards program, with businesses and individuals recognised for excellence, achievement and leadership. Held annually, the awards attract on average more than 100 entries and culminate in a gala dinner awards night.
Celebrating the entrepreneurial spirit in the region, the awards provide members with valuable opportunities to promote their business, either as entrants or event partners.
The individuals and businesses nominated for awards are drawn from many sectors, from micro businesses to large corporations, and all make an important contribution to our regional economy.
