BUSINESS NEWS - It is that time of year when every business in Mossel Bay gets the opportunity to showcase its uniqueness, abilities and the impact it makes on the town economy.
The Mossel Bay Business Chamber is calling for nominees in the different business categories as well as nominations for the Business Person of the Year.
The winners will be announced at the gala function planned for 21 September at Jakkalsvlei Private Wine Estate and Cellar.
This year's competition will be in pursuance of the Chamber's vision for acknowledging excellence. This is in line with the foundation anchoring the awards, namely: identifying, encouraging and rewarding excellence, while still being highly competitive.
At the same time this award also seeks to inspire budding entrepreneurs by emulating and exceeding the achievements of those who traversed the road before them. The committee awaits your nomination for your favourite or most successful business in the different categories. Please note that you can nominate your own business.
Awards will be made in three categories: the small business category is for businesses with a revenue of up to R5 million per annum; medium for businesses with revenue between R5 and R20 million; and large businesses - R20 million plus.
There is also a corporate section for national organisations. The committee also awaits nominations for special awards for the Business Person of the Year as well as for organisations involved in community projects.
Nomination forms are available on the chamber website or call 082 571 3220. Please forward your nominations to admin@mosselbaychamber.co.za by 14 September. In order to compare businesses fairly, the judges will be taking the following into consideration: community impact, motivation, personal qualifications, leadership skills and growth.
The following criteria will also play a role. The nominated company must be a member of the Mossel Bay Business Chamber and registered as a company in South Africa.
The entrepreneur section is excluded from this. Every entry must include a short CV of the nominee, the number of years the business has been in operation, as well as a motivation as to why the company or individual is nominated.
All finalists must attend the gala function on 21 September and the decision of the judges is final. No correspondence will be entered into.
