Winners for the 30th Annual Western Sydney Awards for Business Excellence (WSABE) were announced on Friday 20th November 2020, at the Annual WSABE Awards Gala at Rosehill Gardens in the presence of Senator the Hon. Marise Payne, Liberal Senator for Western Sydney, Minister for Foreign Affairs, Minister for Women.
Prior to the first set of winners being announced, Senator Payne, delivered an extensive overview of Western Sydney’s business economy and said ”Western Sydney is the third largest economy in Australia, and the Australian Government understands that your success is Australia’s success. Given the sheer number of businesses that call our region home, it is noteworthy that you have been recognised as a leader in your field. These awards also recognise the invaluable economic contribution you make locally, and to Australia more broadly. I hope that you will continue to work with your local community to contribute further to the shared prosperity that is integral to our Australian way of life. Please accept my heartfelt congratulations, and my best wishes for your future endeavours.”
The finest of our Greater Western Sydney’s key professionals, businesses and business leaders attended the ‘Great Gatsby’ themed Awards Gala. A prestegious shared celebration of business success, resilience, and the wider business community. Hosted by Master of Ceremonies and prominent media personality, Charlotte Smith, the 2020 WSABE Awards Gala was interlaced with high-impact performances, fine-dining experiences, and multiple key addresses from government representatives and key stakeholders.
