Businesses ranging from hair salons to high-tech virtual reality developers have been named finalists in the Lake Macquarie Business Excellence Awards 2023.
A panel of judges selected over 50 finalists across 14 categories from this year’s record field of almost 150 entries. Winners will be announced at a gala dinner at Belmont 16s on 21 July.
Lake Macquarie Mayor Kay Fraser said the annual awards highlighted the strength and diversity of businesses in Lake Mac.
“Our city is home to more than 13,500 businesses employing well over 73,000 people,” she said.
“We have an economic output of more than $26 billion, making us one of the regional powerhouses of NSW.
“These awards recognise our top performers, from micro-businesses employing just a few people to large companies turning over millions and providing significant employment opportunities.”
Finalists this year include Mount Hutton’s Salon Ten beauty salon in the ‘Excellence in Diversity and Inclusion’ category, and Resonant Blue, a digital marketing agency that created a virtual reality coal mine for visitors to experience at the new Sugar Valley Library Museum, kirantakamyari, at Cameron Park.
Resonant Blue will compete for the Excellence in Innovation Award.
