Daroo Awards to Showcase Best Businesses in Cabonne

Published on 28 May 2019

The quality and diversity of businesses in Cabonne Shire will be showcased by the 2019 Cabonne Daroo Business Awards which were launched today (Tuesday 28 May 2019).

Acknowledged as one of the major events on the regional business calendar and a model for business awards in rural Australia, the Daroos recognise the achievements and contributions of Cabonne businesses and their employees.

The coveted Best Business in Cabonne and 16 other category winners will be announced at a gala dinner at Manildra on Friday 1 November 2019. The theme of this year’s awards is Thriving Through Adversity and a new category has been added this year to recognise businesses that have met the challenges of the crippling drought the region has been experiencing.

Cabonne Mayor Kevin Beatty said the awards acknowledge businesses and organisations that demonstrate a commitment to excellence in service or management.

“The profile of the awards has grown substantially since their inception in 2000 and, as well as being highly sought by a range of businesses, organisations and individuals, the Daroos have become a blueprint for awards in several regional areas,” Cr Beatty said.

The Daroos are designed for customers and clients to have a say in which businesses are recognised, with a people’s choice format deciding the winners in most categories.

Nominations are now open and close on 30 June 2019. Nomination forms are available at various points in Cabonne villages and can also be obtained by contacting Central West Business HQ on 6362 0448 or emailing daroo@becbiz.com.au

Cr Beatty urged clients and customers to nominate Cabonne businesses they believe are worthy of recognition. Once all nominations are received, finalists will be determined in each category and an online voting process will open.
