The 2022 Business Awards are proudly sponsored by Coastline as the main sponsor and Mid North Coast Community College Ltd., MBC Recruitment, Cassegrain Wines, and Hastings Co-Op, as category sponsors.

“These Awards give businesses across the Region the opportunity to reflect on the goals, strategies, and vision that have shaped their success, over the past year,” said Kellon Beard, Regional Manager of Business NSW Mid North Coast.

“Local businesses have had to put up with a lot of challenges over the past two years so this is a great opportunity to celebrate all the great things business leaders are doing to support our regional economy, generate employment and contribute to the strength of local communities.

The regional winners will automatically be finalists for the 2022 State Business Awards in November, in Sydney.
