Messenger first promoted the Local Business Awards in 1993 with the aim of recognising and rewarding small businesses across Adelaide.

 

2009 marks the Awards’ 17th year, and we’re proud to announce a fresh new program with added incentives and an improved judging process.

 

Messenger Newspapers coordinates the Awards for 4 geographic regions across Adelaide with the aim of acknowledging and celebrating the success of local businesses, to encourage economic growth and development in local communities.

 

This year we welcome Bendigo Bank as Gold Sponsors, and on behalf of Messenger, I want to express our appreciation for their support. I’m sure our clients and readers will find that the services offered by Bendigo Bank are second to none, and we look forward to being their media partner as they strengthen their profile in Adelaide.

 

Of course we also extend warm gratitude to the continued support of our other sponsors, Vodafone, SafeWork SA, and supportive event suppliers Coopers.

 

So if you run a local business, register on this site to be included in communications.

 

If you are a Messenger reader, remember that local business is the life blood of our community, and as we head into a tightening economic environment these traders need your support more than ever.

 

So buy local !
