Geraldton Business Named Finalist in Business Awards

Geraldton-based event organiser Event Nation has been named a finalist in this year’s Western
Australian Regional Small Business Awards.

The business has made a name for itself for organising outstanding events throughout regional WA.

The WA Regional Small Business Awards recognise small business excellence across seven
categories, with one category winner being named WA’s Regional Small Business of the Year.

Each category winner will receive a cash prize and a trophy and the overall winner will receive
$25,000 worth of television advertising and the production of a 30-second commercial.

Winners will be announced at a gala dinner at the Hyatt Hotel in Perth on November 20.

Event Nation director Jodi Reilly said she was humbled and honoured to have been selected as a finalist.

“It’s a real honour to be recognised for all the hard work and passion the Event Nation team puts in to any project,” Ms Reilly said.

“We are so passionate about what we do, so it’s really fantastic to be recognised for the depth of service and commitment we offer our clients.”

Ms Reilly said small businesses were the lifeblood of Western Australia.

“There’s so much attention on the resources industry but 96.73 per cent of all WA businesses are small businesses,” she said.

“It’s the small businesses that prop up the local communities, whose owners live among its
customers, whose kids go to school locally.

“So it’s so nice to have an award that recognises the importance of small businesses to our
communities.”
