Dr Christian Rowan MP, the State Member for Moggill and Shadow Minister for the Environment and Heritage Protection and Shadow Minister for National Parks and the Great Barrier Reef has called on the electorate of Moggill to celebrate the achievements of local businesses and charities by nominating them for the 2017 Telstra Business Awards.
“Now in their 25th year, the Telstra Business Awards are renowned for showcasing and celebrating the achievements and entrepreneurial spirit of Australia’s most brilliant small and medium businesses (SMBs) and charities,” Dr Rowan said.
Dr Rowan said that SMBs and charities are the engine room of the economy and deserve to be recognised.
“Local business owners and leaders drive growth and deliver jobs for many Australians by pouring their hearts and souls into their businesses every single day,” Dr Rowan said.
“It is important it is recognised for their contributions not just to the economy but to the community as well.”
“The Telstra Business Awards is a wonderful platform to celebrate their achievements, giving them the opportunity to receive national acclaim and paving the way for others.”
