What are businesses saying about the awards...

Cardinia Business of the Year 2012 - Bellevue Orchard

Nick Russo, Bellevue Orchard and Summer Snow – Winner, Cardinia Business of the Year 2012
“Taking part in the Cardinia Business Awards has been a great experience. The judges and mentors made the process both enjoyable and rewarding. I would encourage all small businesses to take the time to enter the awards as an opportunity to reflect on how far you have come. It has been great for us and our team to have everyone’s hard work recognised, the award is a true testament to the dedication of all the staff here at Bellevue. A big thanks to the Cardinia Shire for a great event and congratulations to all the participants.”

Tony Delaney, Brownie Points – Winner, Innovation category Cardinia Business Awards 2012
“We were notified last Friday that we are a regional finalist in the Telstra ‘Business of the Year’ Awards in the startup category. We are one of three companies remaining out of 600 who applied for this category which is a tremendous achievement for a company less than 18 months old. Much of the work carried out in our application for the Cardinia Awards was used for the Telstra application. Without picking up the awards at Cardinia we would probably have not entered the Telstra awards, so I would like to thank you and your respective companies, as without your sponsorship, none of this would have happened.”
