2019 IMB BANK
ILLAWARRA BUSINESS AWARDS
Land Meets Sea
The 2019 IMB Bank Illawarra Business Awards recognised the achievements of enterprise small to large across the Illawarra. Our vibrant business community is a cornerstone of our great region and the theme for our 2019 awards program encapsulated the magnificent natural environment that envelops us, from our coast to the highlands.
We’re proud of this tradition, and in turn our 2019 category winners should be very proud to join an institution of decorated Illawarra business people who have built our vibrant regional economy throughout the years.
CELEBRATING BUSINESS FOR 25 YEARS
2019 marked the 25th year that the Illawarra Business Awards have celebrated the success of our diverse business community.
Joining us for the silver anniversary celebrations was Australia’s leading didgeridoo player, composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist William Barton, who performed alongside our very own Steel City Strings orchestra of musicians from the Illawarra, Shoalhaven, and Southern Highlands.
