Enter business awards, premier urges

I am pleased to support the 2018 Deakin University Geelong Business Excellence Awards.
This year’s awards will celebrate the achievements of nominees and showcase Geelong’s outstanding businesses.
As Victoria’s second largest city, Geelong is a massive contributor to our state’s economy and a growing powerhouse of high-tech industries.
July’s awards gala dinner will celebrate this success, bringing together hundreds of people from Geelong’s business community.
Our government is proud to partner with the awards through Small Business Victoria, and proud to support local businesses to support job creation and investment with one of the lowest payroll tax rates in the country.
I encourage eligible businesses to nominate themselves for an award in any of the program’s categories, and with every nominee best of luck.

The Hon Daniel Andrews MP
Premier of Victoria
