In 2024, the Business Excellence Awards recognised businesses that have implemented a strategic business plan to grow their business and that have had a significant impact on the local community.
“We are incredibly proud to recognise these exceptional businesses that, despite the current challenging business environment, have achieved significant business successes and helped to make our region stronger through their support for the local community,” said Kit Philp, CEO, Ipswich Region Chamber of Commerce.
“It was also tremendous to see the passion for supporting Ipswich and the huge contribution so many local businesses make to the local community through programs and sponsorships”.
The Ipswich Region Chamber of Commerce also paid tribute to the many sponsors who made the event possible, including the Major Sponsor of the event, Ipswich City Council.
