Nominations for the Penrith Local Business Awards open on Monday

Bill McDeed from Gourmet Meat Co accepts an award at the Penrith Local Business Awards.

The Penrith City Local Business Awards is back, and founder Steve Loe has called on the community to nominate their favourite businesses.

Nominations for the 2025 Penrith City Local Business Awards open on Monday, April 14 and will close on Tuesday, May 13, with the winners announced at the Awards Presentation Evening on Wednesday, July 16.

The Precedent Productions Managing Director, who founded the awards four decades ago, said it was an opportunity for members of the community to encourage and show appreciation for outstanding providers of goods and services.

“Business owners, managers and staff work hard and often go above and beyond to help their clients and customers,” Loe said.

“Nominating someone for their outstanding service or products is a great way to thank these people, who are the backbone of our community.”

Voting for your favourite business is as simple as visiting the Local Business Awards website at http://www.thebusinessawards.com.au.

Loe said businesses could also self-nominate to show staff how much their efforts were valued.

The Penrith City Local Business Awards are made possible by the ongoing support of Presenting Partner Commonwealth Bank; Major Partners NOVA Employment and Western Sydney Conference Centre; and Support Partners Southlands Shopping Centre, Penrith Homemaker Centre, Penrith Valley Chamber of Commerce, BOA, Nepean Regional Security, and White Key Marketing.

Commonwealth Bank General Manager for Small Business Banking NSW, Shaun Stevens said: “Small businesses are the engine of the Australian economy, and the heartbeat of our communities. They have shown incredible resilience in the face of various challenges over the last few years, which is why we’re proud to once again partner with the Local Business Awards to recognise the vital role small businesses play in their communities.”

Loe said the Awards Partners wanted to support the efforts of Penrith City businesses and acknowledge their important role in the community.

The Western Weekender will provide updates on the progress of the Awards program and will also run a special Finalists Feature and Winners Feature later in the year to recognise those celebrated.
