The winners and sponsors from the 2022 Sunshine Coast Business Awards came together again at a special cocktail event held at Fish on Parkyn at Mooloolaba last week.
Awards chair Jennifer Swaine said the event was an opportunity to thank the sponsors who make the awards program possible, and to celebrate the success of the 32 winners across 17 categories.
“Our Awards Gala in November is always a very big night so we like to bring everyone back together after the festive season, so winners and sponsors have more of an opportunity to talk,” Mrs Swaine said.
“We are so grateful to our sponsors so it is important to thank them again for all they contribute, which allows us to run our great program.”
