Quality Business Awards
The concept of the annual Quality Business Awards is to publicly recognise and promote outstanding businesses within our community.
In 2013, Tamworth aligned with several third party organisations to provide businesses with the opportunity to have their business excellence recognised, not only on a local level but also a Regional and State level.
Nearly half of the Award categories in 2014 provided the winner with a direct entry as a finalist at the relevant regional awards. Tamworth businesses were well represented, with several local businesses winning again on a regional level and becoming finalists at the NSW State Business Awards.
