On Saturday 4 November, businesses from all over Warwick gathered at the Theater on Kings to celebrate each other and their hard work.

The Warwick Chamber of Commerce held their annual Business Excellence Awards. But for the first year, it has been adapted to include those from outside of Warwick, deeming it the Warwick Regional Business Awards.

In light of events of the start of the week, the event allowed for a bit of respite and celebration amongst the community.

With bubbles flowing and delectable food everyone indulged in a great evening.

A notable mention of the People’s Choice Awards had over 700 votes for it, making it one of the best years to date. The winners, Long Neck Farm are new to the region and despite their property being threatened by last week’s fires, turned up to collect their award as they were voted over 200 times to receive.

Events like these showcase the hard and determined work of those who help keep the region running.
