Thrilled and grateful to win the award for this year! Thank you for all the support!
I’m still buzzing after the North Shore Local Business Awards last Tuesday evening.
It was fantastic to see Willoughby businesses so well represented. The number of finalists and winners from our city speaks not only to the quality of our local businesses, but also to a community that genuinely gets behind them by supporting them and taking the time to nominate them.
Congratulations to all of our Willoughby winners:
🏆 Amarisco Framing – Antiques, Art, Crafts & Gifts
🏆 East Chatswood Automotive – Automotive Services
🏆 Ganache Patisserie – Bakery/Cake Business
🏆 Papas Coffee – Café
🏆 Lime Tree Bower Florist – Florist
🏆 Sage Hair and Beauty Lounge – Hairdresser
🏆 Vita Health Club – New Business
🏆 Shead Property – Real Estate Agency
And an extra special congratulations to Ali Lennard from Philosophy Australia, who was named Business Person of the Year. An outstanding achievement and so well deserved.
As someone who has owned a small business, I know these awards celebrate so much more than business success. They recognise the resilience, hard work, sacrifice and passion that go into building something that serves our community every day.
Thank you to every business owner, entrepreneur and team member who helps make Willoughby such a vibrant place to live, work and visit. Congratulations again to all the nominees, finalists and winners. It was a privilege to celebrate with you all.
