Cedar Woods’ commitment to the Wyndham Business Awards is not just about showcasing success, it is about building a stronger community that is backed by a vision.
The company has been an integral part of Wyndham since 1998, when it acquired the land that it would later transform into Williams Landing.
Nearly three decades on, Williams Landing is a vibrant community with four residential estates, a shopping centre and a bustling business precinct.
James Bovell, who is the state manager for the company’s operations in Victoria, said that sponsoring the business awards for the ninth year in a row was a no-brainer.
“A lot of local businesses obviously operate out of Williams Landing that participate in the awards, so it’s great to be a part of that,” he said.
“Supporting the event also aligns with our principle of creating community connections.”
Ensuring businesses in Wyndham have a platform to be recognised is only one way Cedar Woods contributes to the community, but the gala night of nights for local entrepreneurs holds special significance.
“It’s great to get out and meet businesses that are doing wonderful things for the Wyndham community,” Mr Bovell said.
“To be part of the recognition of the businesses and the important role that they play in our community is something that brings us great satisfaction.”
Mr Bovell said the gala presentation evening, to be held this year on Friday 12 September, was a fantastic opportunity to network and and hear local success stories.
“A lot of these businesses have been born out of garages and to see them transition into a professional work setting is something we appreciate and we find fulfilling as well.”
Cedar Woods has long supported new business ventures, which are crucial in creating local jobs. From Boston Commons to the newly built Hudson Hub, those with the passion to grow their business have a home at WIlliams Landing.
“The Wyndham community is so tight-knit, so the exposure that’s garnered from the awards is something really fantastic,“ Mr Bovell said.
“I would urge everyone to participate.”
Entries for this year’s awards are open and close on Friday June 13. Business Awards Information Sessions will be held on Wednesday May 21, 9am-10:30am, and
Wednesday June 4, June 1pm-2:30pm.
Whether you’re a small startup, an established enterprise, or a local leader in your industry, the Wyndham Business Awards offer an incredible opportunity to gain recognition and celebrate the impact your business has made.
