Indy sponsoring Geelong Business Excellence Awards

The Geelong Indy has signed on to sponsor the region’s premier awards for local businesses.
The 2017 Powercor Geelong Business Excellence Awards will benefit from extensive promotion in the region’s highest-circulating local newspaper.
The coverage will include regular updates online at geelongindy.com.au and via the Indy’s popular social media accounts.
The massive print and digital reach would give this year’s awards a “huge boost”, said managing editor Tony Galpin.
“The Powercor Geelong Business Excellence Awards are an outstanding recognition of the people and companies creating jobs and wealth for this region,” Mr Galpin said.
“We look forward to working with the other sponsors and supporters to make this year’s awards the biggest and best yet.”
Mr Galpin thanked the Geelong Chamber of Commerce for accepting the Indy’s sponsorship proposal.
“I’m glad the chamber, representing around 900 local businesses, recognised the value offered by the Indy.”
The awards and the Indy had more in common than just their links to local businesses, Mr Galpin said.
“We were both established in 1986, so together we can celebrate our 31st anniversaries at the presentation night in August.”
The Indy will launch the 2017 Powercor Geelong Business Excellence Awards with a special wrap-around feature on 24 February.
More information about the awards, including categories and the entry process, is available at gbea.com.au.
