The Hunter Region Business Excellence Awards is an initiative of the Hunter Hub (formerly known as the Hunter Region BEC).
The event, which has been taking place for almost 30 years, celebrates and awards business excellence across the Hunter Region, including the Upper Hunter, Singleton, Dungog, Cessnock, Maitland, Port Stephens, Newcastle and Lake Macquarie local government areas.
The annual awards recognise local businesses across a wide range of sectors.
Businesses are appraised by judges for the category they have applied for with winners announced at the an award ceremony and gala event.
